In einem Vergnügungspark zu arbeiten war für Jessica immer ein Traum, doch nach über zehn Jahren zwischen Achterbahnen und Fast-Food-Restaurants ist sie es leid, im Rabenkostüm zu tanzen und den Gästen mit aufgesetztem Lächeln eine heile Welt vorzugaukeln. Wie die anderen Angestellten hasst sie ihre Arbeit, den Park und den Besitzer – so sehr, dass sie beschließen, den schönsten Ort der Welt in Schutt und Asche zu legen.

What if punk heroes The Adverts had played a gig in Camberley in 1977, to an audience of 27 people? And what if, three decades later, someone tried to bring that audience back together for a reunion? That’s the premise of these five linked plays by award-winning screenwriter Frank Cottrell-Boyce, telling the stories of some of those audience members as they look back on that life-changing night. Among the star casts are Doon Mackichan, Pauline Quirke, Siân Reeves, Rosie Cavaliero, Richard Ridings, Danny Webb and Manjinder Virk.

When Opus Posthumous first appeared in 1957, it was an appropriate capstone to the career of one of the most important writers of the 20th century. It included many poems missing from Stevens' Collected Poems, along with Stevens' characteristically inventive prose and pieces for the theater. Now Milton J. Bates, the author of the acclaimed Wallace Stevens: A Mythology of Self, has edited and revised Opus Posthumous to correct the previous edition's errors and to incorporate material that has come to light since original publication.
