Morgan: Three Plays by Charles Morgan
Three bitingly intelligent post-war plays from one of Britain's most underrated dramatists, collected together for the first time, with an introduction by academic Carole Bourne-Taylor. These insightful, modernist dramas fiercely question British high society, religion, war and sexuality, in masterful prose.
"Always a thrilling experience * Harold Hobson on The River Line *
MrCharles Morgan has written the play, not only of the year, but of the decade in which we live. * Ludovic Kennedy on The Burning Glass *
Utterly gripping - wholly enthralling * Daily Telegraph on The River Line *
This overlooked classic is highly engaging - Like a fantastic Greek tragedy transposed to post-war Europe, The River Line works its themes of death, grace and regret to powerful effect. * Time Out London *

Charles Morgan (1894-1958) was a distinguished novelist before he moved on to stage drama, with his reputation as a major dramatist established by his first play, The Flashing Stream. Morgan was unique for combining the roles of principal dramatic critic of The Times with that of a practicing dramatist.
