The Plays of Bruce Mason

A Survey

Beschreibung

Bruce Mason (1921-1982) was a playwright by vocation and widely regarded as New Zealand's best. In this critical overview, Smythe interrogates Mason's texts to reveal a master craftsman's artistry, at the cutting edge of socio-political awareness. Revelations about Mason's private life and the discovery of a very personal play text, add to our understanding of his works.
