One cant help where one is born. Or ones station, of course. The trick to happiness is to be content where one is. Or so I am told.1979. Clarence House, London. The Queen Mothers receptions are in full swing and the champagne is flowing. Guiding the proceedings is William Billy Tallon, page of the backstairs, keeper of the keys, holder of the royal corgis and the royal secrets.Outside the palace walls, unemployment, inflation and industrial action are bringing Britain to its knees, and the country is on the verge of changing seismically under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. These two worlds are about to collide, with dizzying consequences for everyone...Backstairs Billy examines the fifty-year relationship between the Queen Mother and her most loyal, most outrageous servant, who joined her household at the age of fifteen. Marcelo Dos Santoss irreverent comedy was first produced by the Michael Grandage Company at the Duke of Yorks Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Grandage and starring Penelope Wilton and Luke Evans.Marcelo Dos Santos was named Most Promising Playwright at the 2024 Critics Circle Theatre Awards for Backstairs Billy (he was the joint winner of the award with Matilda Feyiay Ibini).

The "OSCAR WILDE Premium Collection" serves as an exquisite anthology of Wildes most celebrated works, showcasing his sharp wit, poignant social commentary, and lyrical prose. This collection encapsulates a range of genres, including plays, poetry, and prose fiction, all marked by Wildes trademark aestheticism and paradox. Each piece invites readers into the intricacies of human nature, societal norms, and the interplay of art and life, thus reflecting the late 19th-century Victorian context within which Wilde penned his literary masterpieces. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish poet, playwright, and novelist, revered for his exuberant personality and flamboyant style that mirrored his works. His engagement with themes of love, morality, and identity stemmed from his own experiences with societys rigid conventions, culminating in his trial and imprisonment for his sexuality. This tumultuous life journey ignited Wildes creative genius, enabling him to craft narratives that challenge societal standards while celebrating the beauty of individuality. I highly recommend the "OSCAR WILDE Premium Collection" to both new readers and seasoned aficionados alike. It is not merely a reflection of Wildes literary genius, but a profound commentary on the human condition that resonates timelessly. Whether you seek humor, pathos, or artistry, this collection is a treasure trove that will surely enrich your literary experience.In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience:- An Introduction draws the threads together, discussing why these diverse authors and texts belong in one collection.- Historical Context explores the cultural and intellectual currents that shaped these works, offering insight into the shared (or contrasting) eras that influenced each writer.- A combined Synopsis (Selection) briefly outlines the key plots or arguments of the included pieces, helping readers grasp the anthologys overall scope without giving away essential twists.- A collective Analysis highlights common themes, stylistic variations, and significant crossovers in tone and technique, tying together writers from different backgrounds.- Reflection questions encourage readers to compare the different voices and perspectives within the collection, fostering a richer understanding of the overarching conversation.

Carr plays with time and place to resonant, ultimately devastating effect.The StageOne of the most important Irish plays of the twentieth century. Arts ReviewMarina Carr goes to a deep place that has not just to do with society now but that touches an inner tragedy of existence.
