About this title

Synopsis

Eagerly awaited by Wilson scholars and fans, this is a collection of four previously unpublished plays with an introduction by the author.
'The Death of God' and 'The Metal Flower Blossom' were both written in the 1950s, at the beginning of Wilson's writing career; the former at the request of George Devine, then Director of The Royal Court Theatre. 'Necessary Doubt' was written for television and then turned into the novel of the same title, which was published in 1964. 'Mysteries' was penned in 1979 and introduces Wilson's Inspector Saltfleet (from 'The Schoolgirl Murder Case') to the stage. This play was later adapted into the 1984 novel 'The Janus Murder Case'.
