Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price

This edition of the play in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series includes an introduction by Simon Trussler.


Reviews

'A murky world of royal skulduggery, hangings, knifings and delayed revenge, which is by no means remote from our own violent times'

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
