<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Richard Cameron doesn't seek to impress us through calculated audacity, pastiche or glib violence. He establishes a tone--careful, humane and diverse.--Independent on Sunday<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Richard Cameron's most popular and acclaimed work together in one volume introduced by the author <p/><br>This volume includes Can't Stand Up for Falling Down, Pond Life, Mortal Ash and All of You Mine. Can't Stand Up for Falling Down, written as interweaving monologues, is a contemporary coming-of-age play set in rural Yorkshire and centres around a death that may not be quite as accidental as it seems Cameron's play is itself cumulatively and salutarily devastating...building up a picture from many partial perspectives, the monologues are beautifully arranged (Independent); Pond Life is a play about a life-changing fishing expedition the unpatronisingly sensitive vignette of adolescence explores more angles than angling in these youngsters' lives (Mail on Sunday); Mortal Ash is a tale of youthful love, death and regeneration; All of You Mine deals with the miners' strike of 1984 and it's effects on an ex-pit village near Doncaster there is a remorseless Ibsen-like vigour about the way he uncovers lies, motives and bad faith (Sunday Times).Over the past few years, Cameron has emerged as the shrewd chronicler of a small-town, post industrial England whose experience is quite distinct from that of city dwellers.
