Books by David (Author) Greig

Two plays about cultural identity from Scotland and Catalonia, which received their English-language premieres in August 1999 at the Royal Lyceum Theatre as part of the Edinburgh International Festival in Traverse Theatre Company productions

"Europe" is set at a railway station in a town where old and new Europeans weave a tale of love and loss. "The Architect" charts the rise and fall of Leo Black, an idealistic designer whose visions are now crumbling. "The Cosmonaut's Last Message..." tells the stories of an eclectic mix of people.

One of a series of drama texts published to coincide with theatrical premieres of new plays and translations.

This third volume in an anthology of plays contains David Greig's "Europe", a border play based on the conflict in Europe; Joe Penhall's "Some Voices", a study of a young schizophrenic trying to get back on the rails; and Judy Upton's "Ashes and Sand", a topical play about teenage girl gangs.

Dramatic events in a rural community on the Scottish coast reflect the shifting political and social fabric of Britain in the 20th century. This play premiered at the Royal Shakespeare Company in London.
