Notes on a scandal by Patrick Marber

Shakespeare plays about English wars.
Richard II is good. The other three are pretty boring.

Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller - Good, but....
This is a good book - well written, but I didn't like it.
Two main characters, both teachers: Sheba, a new member of staff and Barbara, an older, more experienced teacher. An obsessional, manipulative, stereotypical old maid, right down to the cat. She sees Sheba as a new friend and when Sheba confides a secret she finds that she can single her out, cut her off from everyone else and make her totally dependent.

Fascinating set of discussions with a very wide range of people who've most influenced the development of theatre (mainly in England but also in USA) in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Anyone with an interest in the theatre will relish this book.
