Scenes from Four Plays

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


The paper explains that Peter Shaffer's play "Amadeus" offers a dramatic representation of a debate that has been waged for
some time over the reason for the death of Mozart and the possible involvement of Salieri in that event. The author states Brian Friel's "Dancing At Lughnasa" is a memory play whose narrator, Michael, is reliving the summer of 1936 when he was a boy. The paper reviews two feminist plays by Caryl Churchill: "Top Girls", which shows her belief in a brand of feminism that is allied to socialism and "Cloud 9", which covers a long period of time to show ways in which society has changed and remained the same.
