Description
The central character of the author's peak drama from 1957 is Archie Rice, a sleazy comedian performing on the stage of a declining London music hall. The play is a probe into the life of a poor small-town London family and its bleak existence filled with broken relationships, indifference, emptiness, and despair. It takes place during the Suez Crisis and creates a critical image of the social conditions of Britain at the time. Its timelessness is evidenced by the fact that it is still performed by theaters both here and on world stages.
