Details

Peter Quilter's plays have captivated audiences around the world with their wit, warmth, and emotional depth. With productions staged in over 50 countries and translated into dozens of languages, this debut collection brings together a selection of his most celebrated works. Best known for End of the Rainbow, which earned Olivier and Toney nominations, Quilter's writing spans comedy, drama, and musical theatre, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and the pursuit of happiness. This collection showcases his gift for crafting stories that blend humour with heartache, and glamour with grit.

End of the Rainbow 'Sensational – in every sense of the word… revealing in a way that tell-all bio-drama seldom is.' (New York Times)

Glorious! 'Delightful and blissfully funny… generates a rare glow of warmth and generous laughter.' (Daily Telegraph)

Moviestar An energetic, modern, and madly funny story exploring the ridiculous actions people take so that they can hang on to their celebrity.

Marilyn and Me Harry imagines he is living with Marilyn Monroe. This funny and touching new comedy is about the extremes we go to - so that we are not alone.

This debut collection includes an introduction from the author.
