Brian Friel Plays 2: Dancing at Lughnasa; Fathers and Sons; Making History; Wonderful Tennessee; Molly Sweeney (Contemporary Classics (Faber & Faber))

The play, brilliantly constructed, is the best Friel has yet written. Observer on Dancing at Lughnasa

A delicately written play that subtly alters the emphasis of Turgenev's book in the light of modern experience. Guardian on Fathers and Sons (after Turgenev)

This is Friel's most accomplished and important play since Translations... It has the same suppleness of argument and beauty of writing. Financial Times on Making History

Friel is a master...The play is a brilliantly notated fugue of laughter and lament. New Yorker on Wonderful Tennessee

A dramatic poem of cumulative power and irresistible poignancy. Observer on Molly Sweeney

Of all the contemporary authors, there is no one I admire more highly than Brian Friel... Molly Sweeney is magnificent, and I read it with great joy. Peter Brook on Molly Sweeney
