This collection brings together five plays from the 1970s and 1980s by “Britain’s leading contemporary playwright” (The Times), including Fanshen, A Map of the World, Saigon: Year of the Cat, The Bay at Nice, and The Secret Rapture. Of the title play, Frank Rich of the New York Times said, “The Secret Rapture has gone further than before in marrying political thought to the compelling drama of lives that refuse to conform to any ideology’s utopian plan. . . . Mr. Hare embraces the human, messy though it may be.”
