Plays, Prose, Pieces, Poetry: Edited by Richard Ayoade

English

By (author): Harauld Hughes

THIS EDITION EDITED BY RICHARD AYOADE

The defining work of the great midcentury visionary of stage and screen -- rediscovered and republished by Faber & Faber.

Comprising Hughes's monumental works for the stage, poetry, lyrics, interviews, acceptance speeches, written warnings and wordless sketches, this essential volume includes extensive critical reflections by leading critics Augustus Pink, Chloë Clifton-Wright, Richard Ayoade, Leslie Francis (director of . . . And?!), and Hughes's final wife, Lady Virginia Lovilocke.


Plays, Prose, Pieces, Poetry collects together, for the first time, the dramas that made Hughes's name adjectival, in all new fonts, and exhaustively punctuated according to the instructions left in his last will and testament.

About Harauld Hughes

Harauld Hughes was born in Cardiff in 1931. In 1932 his mother sent him to London to fend for himself. He remained there until the outbreak of the Second World War when he was evacuated to Suffolk despite his offers to enlist. Hughes returned to London in 1945 and lived in the Elephant and Castle. His experiences as a teenage landlord informed much of his later work. He wrote his first play Platform in 1960 but it was his fourth play Roost written unusually before his third play Roast which made his reputation. He remains one of the UK's most garlanded playwrights. He was awarded the Euripides Prize for short-form drama and the Goethe Garter and was one of the first writers-in-residence at Costa Coffee albeit in an unofficial capacity.He was married to the theologian and chef Lady Virginia Lovilocke.He died in 2006.
