The Plays

Clive's plays - initially far more obscure and witnessed only by tiny fringe audiences, but now being made available as texts. With current-day productions becoming more prevalent and with our own series of books, Memory, Prophecy and Fantasy covering the plays in detail, the canon of pre-film work now stands ready for assessment...
