Book Reviews of Another Country (Plays)
Book Review: Highly recommended.
Summary: 5 Stars
I simply had to read the text after seeing the stage play at the Arts recently. It's a play that can be enjoyed at many levels. The sharp-witted dialogue is difficult to surpass for pure amusement value. Yet the writer manages to avoid the comic exaggeration that could have reduced the characters to mere caricatures, portraying them with sufficient depth to generate genuine empathy from the reader. He also succeeds in vividly recreating and absorbing the reader into the atmosphere at a British public school in the 1930s. The psychological premise, though somewhat controversial, is intriguing: could subjecting a young man in his formative years to the sectarianism inherent in British upper class society have alienated him into betraying his country? Finally, the skilfully contrived plot does not obscure the underlying social theme that love is love, regardless of sexual orientation. Highly recommended.
