  • Product Description

    "Keeffe's plays mirror his time with absolute veracity. He is concerned and compassionate, reporting what he sees and offering no glib explanations or doctrinaire solutions."—Sunday Telegraph

    Gimme Shelter (Gem, Gotcha, Getaway): "This brilliantly and cleverly interlinked trio of plays are about fighting and acceptance ... Humanism and individuality are the lodestars sought for ... grim but beautifully humorous."—Guardian

    Barbarians (Killing Time, Abide With Me, In the City): "Captures unerringly and with unhistrionic force a sense of life down in Lewisham where unemployment is running rife and demoralizingly among the bored young ... it is not a grim play though the final implications are chilling. There is a raw and crude humor in the situation and language of these unemployed boys ... magnificently a play of today."—Guardian
