Summary:

Alphabetical Order: "The best of Frayn's plays. He has found a way of writing broad comedy about ordinary and sympathetic people without resorting to artificial conflict or character distortion."-The Times

Donkeys' Years: "Gorgeous farce, all the funnier for emerging from credible aspirations and natural anxieties."-New Statesman

Clouds: "Manages to work so well on so many different levels ... Biliously accurate ... poignantly and unerringly funny."-Guardian

Make and Break: "Full of pain, ruthless observation, and a sense of humor which is sardonic, lunatic, and warm."-Sunday Times

Noises Off: "As sidesplitting a farce as I have seen. Ever? Ever."-New York Magazine

"Michael Frayn has the rare ability to construct farcical comedy around philosophical principles and the laughs and the ideas effortlessly intermesh."-Guardian
