Summary:

This third collection of plays by Britain's most-performed living playwright includes comical and touching tales of English life, packed full of caravan holidays, malicious neighbors, magazine competitions, romantic breaks for two, and pub-rugby.

Up 'n' Under: "John Godber's affectionate hymn to rugby league no-hopers."-The Stage

Perfect Pitch: "A triumphant demonstration that new plays can be both popular and truthful. Godber's writing has matured and here we see the rough externals of class warfare give way to a more internal dialogue with character and feelings."-Sunday Times

April in Paris: "It can only be described as a comedy. Some of it is very funny. Yet it is the sadness that prevails, along with the craftsmanship."-Financial Times
