This third volume of Alan Ayckbourn plays includes Haunting Julia- Sugar Daddies- Drowning on Dry Land and Private Fears in Public Places- with an introduction by the author. Haunting Julia: A play for today. It touches on the failures of education and parenting- on media pressure and overdoses. Kurt Cobain comes to mind. More universally- Haunting Julia mourns how in adolescence and adulthood- we do our loves wrong. (Financial Times ). Sugar Daddies: A timely warning about the dangers of role-playing and pretence...But the real fascination lies in watching Ayckbourns own transformation from social observer to impassioned moralist. (Guardian). Drowning on Dry Land: Ayckbourn at the top of his game. (Guardian). A coruscatingly acid and funny play. (The Times). Private Fears in Public Places: Ayckbourns construction has a masterly clarity; his writing combines ruthless observation with mature tolerance. Nobody else writing today can create a sense of a complicated little world in 90 minutes- or make banal lives seem so unforgivably interesting. Listen: its a masters voice. (Sunday Times)....
