Barnes Plays: 2: Red Noses, the Spirit of Man, Nobody Here But Us Chickens, Sunsets and Glories, Bye Bye Columbus

A selection of plays by one of the most original and biting comic writers working in Britain (The Times)

The Spirit of Man is an ingenious triple-bill exploring Man's need for faith through three short satires based in medieval France, Protectorate England and nineteenth-century Eastern Europe (Independent); Nobody Here But Us Chickens is a linked trilogy of satires on New Age, corporate and bedroom politics. Red Noses is a political satire about the plague and takes place in 1348. Set in medieval Italy during a crisis in the Church, Sunsets and Glories is a work of the highest and most thrilling theatrical energy (Independent on Sunday), whilst Bye Bye Columbus is a highly entertaining (Guardian) television play.

Peter Barnes is one of the unrecognised geniuses of the English theatre (Plays and Players)
