Frayn Plays: 2 Summary

Frayn Plays: 2: Balmoral; Benefactors; Wild Honey by Michael Frayn

One of theatre's subtlest, most sophisticated minds (The Times) Benefactors conjures the world of the suburbs observed through the lens of post-imperialism; dazzling. This prismatic work circumscribes the disillusionment of an era (New York Times); Balmoral dares to imagine what Britain would be like if it had gone through the Russian revolution in 1917; a sophisticated drollery, an educated amusement (New Statesman); Wild Honey is a reworking of Checkov's first play (also known as Platonov) and is shot through with farce, feminism and eroticism.
