One wintry morning academic Prudencia Hart sets off to a conference in the Scottish Borders. Stranded there by snow, she is swept off on a dream-like journey of self discovery, complete with magical moments, devilish encounters and wittily wild music. 'You shouldn't miss this for the world . . . Rambunctiously life-affirming and touchingly beautiful.' Herald 'More vibrantly alive than any piece of theatre I've seen in Scotland for years.' Scotsman Inspired by the Border ballads, The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart toured throughout Scotland in 2011 in a production by the National Theatre of Scotland.

The Postmodern Fairytale
Why is Shrek one of the greatest selling DVDs of all time? Why are shampoo advertisements based on Sleeping Beauty? Why is it that the same simple stories keep being told? This study attempts to explain why fairy tales keep popping up in the most unexpected places and why the best storytellers begin their tales with 'once upon a time'.
Bernard Shaw: A Critical View
'...the analysis of individual plays is measured and illuminating. The book will be of interest to all Shavians, to students, and to the many general readers who value Shaw's unsentimental idealism.' British Book News '...Grene's study makes a valuable contribution to a still-developing subject ... His analysis of the plays is well-informed and perceptive, and he is always alert to the exigencies of theatrical performance.' Times Higher Education Supplement
