Unseen Ayckbourn: Illustrated Edition

Updated, revised and now illustrated with 20 archival images, Unseen Ayckbourn: Illustrated Edition explores Alan Ayckbourn's rarely seen, withdrawn, unpublished or lost plays. Written by the playwright's archivist and drawing from a number of theatre archives, it also explores abandoned or unused ideas and concept, variations of existing plays, alternative titles as well as other Ayckbourn ephemera. Unseen Ayckbourn was named one of The Stage newspaper's best theatre books of 2013; this new edition provides even more insight into one of the world's most performed and popular playwrights with quotes from Alan Ayckbourn as well as exclusive extracts from never published play texts.
