Kops: Plays Three cover

Bernard Kops is one the best-known Jewish playwrights of his time.

Three plays from the Jewish playwright Bernard Kops. Kops is one of the best known Jewish playwrights of his time. Also published by Oberon Books is Kops: Plays One and Kops: Plays Two"The Dream of Peter Mann was first produced at the Edinburgh Lyceum in 1960 and is a bold exploration of what it is to live in a world threatened by nuclear annihilation. In Enter Solly Gold, an irreverent and much lighter work, Kops' protagonist fleeces a family of vulgar snobs, reducing them to penury but also introducing them to an enjoyment of life. Who Shall I Be Tomorrow? was a hit at the Greenwich Theatre in 1982 with Joanna Lumley as the frighteningly deluded woman trying to flee her own reality by building herself a world of daydreams."

"""I don't care much for the English avant-garde, altough I'm interested in the man Kops. I like Kops and T. S. Elliot and Christopher Fry."" - Eugene Ionesco ""A joyous, remarkable play. And an affirmation of the love of life."" - Mervyn Jones on The Dream of Peter Mann ""If it comes within twenty miles of your city don't miss it."" - Ray Gosling, The Tribune on Enter Solly Gold ""Emotional candour and tragic passion."" - The Observer on Who Shall I Be Tomorrow "
