Barnes Plays: 3: Clap Hands; Heaven's Blessings; Revolutionary Witness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780413699800)

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

Clap Hands Here Comes Charlie is a riotous, scabrous comedy concerning a demonic figure, a destroyer and giver of life, who is always trying to jump, with both feet into his left trouser leg. Heaven's Blessings, taken from the grim pages of the Bible is a charming epic comedy of Tobit, his wife, their son and a cantankerous guardian angel, who set out to reclaim an outstanding IOU, overcoming many dangers which test their faith to breaking point. Revolutionary Witness, about the French Revolution, is a series of four monologues televised by the BBC in 1989.
