Three Farces and a Comedy

Ben Travers

Contains the plays Rookery Nook, Thark, Plunder and The Bed Before Yesterday. ‘Travers should be regarded as an important figure post-Pinero and pre-Orton, and certainly one of the most skilled of British farceurs’ Oxford Dictionary of National Biography ‘The single-track dirty mind, the double entendre, the treble think, the quadruple bluff: funny names, funny local yokels, domineering women, pretty girls and the ever-swinging bedroom door… Explosively funny’ Richard Usborne, The Times Literary Supplement
