Four plays that introduced the world to Conor McPherson, showcasing the mastery of storytelling, the dark, Irish humour and the haunting imagery that defines his greatest work. Conor McPherson's plays The Weir and The Seafarer have become modern classics. The early plays found in this collection set the template for an astonishing career that has spanned the West End and Broadway. From the perfect evocation of small town Ireland found in This Lime Tree Bower to the supernatural nightmare that is St Nicholas - along with the wit and dramatic daring of Rum and Vodka and The Good Thief - these plays form a perfect introduction to one of the great new voices of Irish theatre. In this volume the playwright also provides a personal introduction and overview of the work that shaped his hugely successful career.
