Includes the plays Flowering Cherry, The Tiger and the Horse and Gentle JackWe are delighted to be publishing six plays by one of England’s truly great post-war dramatists.Flowering Cherry (1957) depicts the detachment of the dreamer who cannot relate to ordinary office life, while The Tiger and the Horse (1960), a far more intellectual exercise, hinges on whether the wife of an academic should sign a ‘ban the bomb’ petition and thus jeopardise her husband’s career. Bolt shows another side to his considerable talents with the pantheistic parable Gentle Jack (1963).

Robert Bolt was one of England's truly great post-war dramatists. Since leaving a teaching career in the 1950s, Bolt wrote plays that were both critical and popular successes, developing a theme that runs throughout his work - that of the conflict between a person and the society in which they live. Bolt's first and most famous success was 'A Man For All Seasons', which he also adapted for the screen, about the conflict between Sir Thomas More and King Henry VIII. Bolt was also a film director and wrote award winning screenplays for some of the great films of the 20th century, including Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and The Mission. He died in 1995.
