Publisher Description: Three one-act plays by Michael Yates. A REAL CUSHY NUMBER: It's the night shift at a major hospital and the porters sip their hot tea and talk about life as they wait for a patient to die. ALL GOOD MEN: Party conference time - and the sudden death of the prime minister triggers a power struggle as young speech-writer Simon goes to war with ambitious minister Darius and sexy, ruthless power-broker Lady Bridgewater. LUVVIES: A failed playwright and a bit-part actress invite a young couple home for heavy drinking and ritual humiliation - but the tables could be turned "Clever, well-written. The punchy, bitchy dialogue is great fun with an undercurrent of tragedy. It kept me hooked," said the Write Now Liverpool Drama Festival judge. |
