Includes the plays A New York Threesome, (My Brother's Conversion; Madam Butterfly's Child; Manhattan Breast Company), Mad Margaret's Revenge and The Jolly Folly of Polly, the Scottish Trolley Dolly Fivebite-size pieces of theatre that deal with perception: the characters in these theatrical hors d'oeuvres find their view of themselves at odds with the way the rest of the world sees them. Bittersweet and highly original, these 'mini-marvels' cleverly break down the barrier between audience and actor, whether it's backstage at an opera, lost in the mind of would-be film-maker Margaret, or on a flight of freedom with air stewardess Polly.

Angela Thirkell is perhaps the most Pym-like of any twentieth-century author, after Pym herself - Alexander McCall It's August in the Barsetshire village of Worsted, and Richard Tebben, just down from Oxford, is contemplating the gloomy prospect of a long summer in the parental home. But the numerous and impossibly glamorous Dean family - exquisite Rachel, her capable husband and six of their nine brilliant children - have come for the holidays, and their hostess Mrs Palmer plans to rope everyone into performing in her disastrous annual play. Surrounded by the irrepressible Deans, Richard and his sister Margaret cannot help but have their minds broadened, spirits raised and hearts smitten.
