Elton Plays: 1 by Ben Elton
Ben Elton's plays in one volume for the first time Gasping: "...an often hilarious satire on yuppiedom, advertising and corporate greed" (Daily Telegraph); "...the sharpest futuristic comedy since Henceforward, and the best Green comedy since The Good Life was young."(Financial Times). Silly Cow: "It has an ingenious plot...another perfect occasion for a Ben Elton satire on the modern world..." (Financial Times). Popcorn: "An enjoyable, intelligent, thought-provoking play" (Independent); "It thrills on stage precisely because it adopts the sick humour, sickening violence and downright sexiness of the Stone-Tarantino school of film-making that Elton is satirising" (Evening Standard).
Ben Elton studied Drama at the University of Manchester and has written three West End plays: Grasping (Theatre Royal Haymarket, 1990), Silly Cow (Theatre Royal Haymarket, 1991), Popcorn (UK and Australian tour), and Blast From the Past (West Yorkshire Playhouse, 1998). Popcorn won the TMA Barclays Theatre Award for best new play and the Olivier Award for best comedy.
