David Edgar, like Balzac, seems to be the secretary for our times. - The Guardian

This selection of David Edgar's dramatic work features three plays: Ecclesiastes, a late 1970s radio play; his acclaimed stage version of Nicholas Nickleby; and Entertaining Strangers, an English left-wing social drama.

Ecclesiastes is a radio play that looks at the rise and fall of a fundamentalist Christian clergyman in the US.

Nicholas Nickleby: With uncommon audacity Nicholas Nickleby not only takes on Dickens' sprawling novel, it fractures all the petty limitations we have imposed upon the stage as well ... A landmark. - New Statesman

In Entertaining Strangers, a community constructs a nativity play: English left-wing social drama at its sturdiest and finest: human, argumentative, utterly unafraid of human realities, and seething with indignation and compassion. - The Sunday Times
