The first collected edition of the enduring plays by the popular author of The Long Good Friday Gimme Shelter (Gem, Gotcha, Getaway): 'This brilliantly and cleverly interlinked trio of plays are about fighting and acceptance...Humanism and individuality are the lodestars sought for ...grim but beautifully humorous' GuardianBARBARIANS (KILLING TIME, ABIDE WITH ME, IN THE CITY): "Captures unerringly and with unhistrionic force a sense of life down in Lewisham where unemployment is running rife and demoralisingly among the bored young ...it is not a grim play though the final implications are chilling. There is a raw and crude humour in the situation and language of these unemployed boys ...magnificently a play of today" Guardian
