| Description |
Theatre of the Absurd.
Peter Barnes' play is a zany Theatre of the Absurd masterpiece, about an English aristocrat, under the delusion that he is alternatively Christ and/or Jack the Ripper. A ruthless, hilarious and scathing satire of the British ruling class, proving once and for all that God is not an Englishman. |
