      Collages explores a world of fantasy and dreams through an eccentric young painter. A radical work in its time (1964), Anais Nin dispensed with normal structural convention and allowed her characters to wander freely in space and time in an attempt to describe life with the disconnected clarity of a dream in which hip and freakish lives intersect or merge. Perhaps reflecting a developing contemporary awareness of abstract art, Collages is a series of impressions rather than a coherent whole, a shifting notebook indelibly inscribed with Nin's humour, invention and unrivalled gift for sensuous description.

    • Often called the best comedy of manners in English, and one of the most produced of all theatre classics, this delightful play brilliantly displays Sheridan's mastery of the mechanics of stage comedy, his flair for witty dialogue, and his obvious delight in skewering the affectation and pretentiousness of aristocratic Londoners of the 1770s. Publisher's Note.

      The plot centers on lovers Mirabell and Millamant, who seek to marry and secure Millamant's dowry. Their challenge lies in gaining the approval of her bitter aunt, Lady Wishfort, who harbors disdain for Mirabell and favors her own nephew, Sir Wilful, as a suitor for Millamant. The play explores themes of love, manipulation, and social expectations as the characters navigate their complicated relationships.
