Description

Simon Gray's witty, painful and acutely observed Early Diaries chronicle the highs and lows of bringing two of his plays to the stage. An Unnatural Pursuit records the London production of The Common Pursuit, from the nail biting process of finding a producer through rehearsals to the first-night post-mortem. An enthralling insight into the world of Simon Gray, his working relationship with Harold Pinter - who directed many of his plays - and into the fascinating business of putting on a play. How's That For Telling 'em, Fat Lady? describes Gray's experiences staging The Common Pursuit and Dog Days in Los Angeles and New York.
