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

This third collection of plays by David Edgar includes Our Own People, Teendreams, Maydays and That Summer, encompassing some of his best work from the late 1970s and early 80s, and demonstrating the range of one of Britain's major political playwrights.

Our Own People: A courageous and intelligent discussion of race and industrial relations. - City Limits

Teendreams (written with Susan Todd of Monstrous Regiment theatre company) is about the failed revolutionary dreams of a set of teenagers.

Maydays compares the phenomenon of post-war social rebellion from Western and Eastern perspectives.

That Summer is an elegantly tangential treatment of the 1984 miners' strike (Plays and Players). Edgar never lets his drama simplify into ideological diagram ... This elegant, humane play keeps its emphasis on the ... results that can ensue when diverse lives briefly brush against each other. (Independent)
