Penguin Plays – Three Plays (1962) by Various – Penguin Books
From Crappy Old Books – proudly selling paperbacks with personality disorders.

This 1962 Penguin anthology delivers exactly what it promises: three plays, by various authors, bound together in that classic orange-and-white livery that smells faintly of nicotine and existential despair. A staple of every schoolbag, amateur theatre shelf, or bookshelf propping up a broken table leg, this volume offers a gritty, mid-century snapshot of post-war drama — complete with monologues, misanthropy, and more ashtrays than characters.

Which plays, you ask? Honestly, we forgot, and the contents page has been lightly chewed — but rest assured: they’re British, dramatic, and probably involve someone shouting from a stairwell.
