The Sunny Side of the Street. SZIRTES (George).
A trilogy of three short plays: Bear Dance, By the Light of the Silvery Moon and Seaside Gothic.
Small folio. [300 x 215 mm]. [129] pp. Clipped into blue front wrapper with typed title. [ebc8115].
Hertfordshire: Hitchin, 20 Old Park Road, September, 1983.
A screenplay of an unpublished trilogy of short plays with a limited number of seperate performances between 1979 and 1982. The plays are centred on the death of Ronnie Ashford's wife, Christine, supposedly occuring sometime during the winter of 1961. It states that "the first and third plays of the set are comedies in that they contain absurd genre elements but have strong undercurrents of pathos. The milieu is the post war upper-working and lower-middle class melting pot preceding Harold Wilson's white heat of technological revolution."
George Szirtes is a British poet and translator. Originally from Hungary, he came to the United Kingdom as a refugee at the age of eight. His poems first began being published in national magazines in 1973 and his first book, The Slant Door, published in 1979, won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. His more recent awards include the 2004 T. S. Eliot Prize, for his collection Reel, and the 2008 Bess Hokin Prize for his poems in Poetry Magazine.
