The work of English playwright Simon Gray (1936ndash;2008) has always resisted ideological and stylistic labels. His artistic independence has also had an unwelcome side effect: It cost him the critical attention garnered by his peers. This book; the first monograph on Gray; examines his oeuvre from the early plays; which hack away at the formalism and humanism of traditional English satire; to the later ones; in which he explores English professionals and their problems connecting with each other. If Gray remains the least known major English dramatist of his day; hersquo;s also one of the boldest and best.
