Definitive Simon Gray 1 by Simon Gray

First staged at the Criterion Theatre in 1971, this is a play about a university lecturer, Ben Butley, who shares his office and his flat with a former star pupil, Joey, now also a teacher. On the day the play takes place Butley faces both the ultimate breakdown of his marriage and of his intense friendship with Joey. Butley's painful discoveries are made against a background of petty university politics and unease about student dissent. He greets them with a blistering torrent of repartee and rhetoric. Other plays by this author include "Otherwise Engaged" and "The Common Pursuit".
