- Summary
- N.F. Simpson was one of the leading exponents of the theatre of the absurd, and is best known for his play 'A Resounding Tinkle', made famous by its premiere at the Royal Court in 1957, and later to star Peter Cook. He was a major force in the satire boom of the sixties, and wrote much exceptional comedy for film and TV for the likes of John Cleese, Beryl Reid, Hattie Jacques and Eric Sykes, as well as a number of brilliantly funny plays for theatre, which starred big names such as Harold Pinter and Kenneth Williams. This collection contains 8 plays.
