Maydays & Trying It On: two plays by David Edgar

Maydays & Trying It On: two plays by David Edgar

Two plays from one of the UK's most acclaimed playwrights. This new version of David Edgar's 1983 award-winning hit play, Maydays, has startling parallels to the political revolution of the Millennial Generation. Trying It On, David Edgar's one-person show, also relates the events of 1968 to the turmoil of today.

'An epic, decades-spanning story of youthful idealism colliding with human nature.. this timely revised version draws out moments of resonance between the seismic political shifts of the late sixties, and the polarising uncertainty of the present'

* The Stage (on the 2018 revival of Maydays) *

'One of distinguished playwright David Edgar's most coruscating gems... an invaluable historical treatise, Maydays undoubtedly possesses a timely resonance'

* Telegraph (on the 2018 production of Maydays) *

'David Edgar's magnificent new play for the Royal Shakespeare Company is an epic, brilliantly plotted piece of writing that takes revolution as its theme'

* The Financial Times (on the 1983 production of Maydays)) *

'Witty, but never cynical… as charming as it is challenging'

* The Times on Trying It On *

David Edgar’s plays have been presented by the National Theatre, the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he is the company’s most produced living playwright. After fifty years of writing, Trying It On marks his debut as a performer.
