Attempts On Her Life - The Misanthrope - No One Sees. The Video - The Country. Martin Crimp. Martin Crimp, among the most successful British playwrights and translators of his generation, demonstrates a powerful modern sensibility and control of language that The Sunday Times calls "harsh, elegant and sardonic ... as if Evelyn Waugh and Bret Easton Ellis had collaborated on a horrifying morality play". These qualities are apparent in this volume, which includes Dealing with Clair, in which a routine real-estate deal results in a mysterious assault on the agent, and The Treatment, which focuses on the fantasies -- sexual and otherwise -- among the young and not so young in New York's Tribeca. This second collection of Martin Crimp's work includes the plays Attempts on Her Life, The Misanthrope, No One Sees the Video and The Country.'Crimp writes with extraordinary precision . . . The outside world is described with almost hallucinatory clarity . . . This second collection of Martin Crimp's work brings together four remarkable plays.
