Description
About the Book
A ghostly tale of one man's chance to do things differently from R.C. Sherriff, author of 20th-century classic Journey's End.Book Synopsis
R.C. Sherriff's supernatural drama, produced in 2014 for the first time in sixty years. Christmas Eve, 1951. As Britain rebuilds itself after the war, John Greenwood has it all - a successful business, a beautiful house and an aristocratic wife. But as he bids farewell to the guests leaving his annual Christmas party, a gust of wind slams the front door shut, starting a chain of events that makes him doubt everything he has ever known. From the writer of one of the 20th century's most acclaimed plays, Journey's End, The White Carnation is a ghostly tale of one man's chance to do things differently. "The humour is light and subtle, the dialogue engaging... It is clearly the work of an excellent playwright." - Time Out London "A theatrical ghost by RC Sherriff comes back to life... What a neglected little treasure it proves: not life-changing, maybe, but life-affirming." - TelegraphAbout the Author
R. C. Sherriff was born in 1896, and remains best known for his classic First World War masterpiece, Journey's End, recently revived for a long run in the West End - 'Recent revivals have suggested that Sherriff's drama remains as hard-hitting and fresh as ever' Lyn Gardner, The Guardian. His many screenplays include The Invisible Man (1933), The Four Feathers (1939), the Oscar-nominated Goodbye Mr. Chips (1939) and The Dam Busters (1955). Though Journey's End continued to define his career in the theatre, the post-Second World War period was an 'Indian summer' for Sherriff with productions of Miss Mabel (1948), Home at Seven (1950) and The Long Sunset (1955). He died in 1975.Dimensions (Overall): 8.2 Inches (H) x 5.1 Inches (W) x .4 Inches (D)
