—Cutler 93
A lush volume containing most of J. M. Barrie's (1860-1937) plays, 26 out of the 38 he wrote, of which 12 are one-act plays. This work was reprinted several times from its first issue in 1928, attesting to the popularity of his works for the theater, many of which discuss social concerns. The Twelve Pound Look (1910) concerns a wife leaving her 'typical' husband once she can gain an independent income. Other plays, such as Mary Rose (1920) and Dear Brutus (1917), revisit the idea of the ageless child and parallel worlds. However, Barrie's most lasting fame comes from creating PETER PAN, which is included in this volume, and had its first performance at the Duke of York Theatre in 1904. In 1911 Barrie would develop the play into a novel "Peter and Wendy...
