Children of Darkness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780573607004)

A splendidly raffish gallery of rogues inhabit Newgate Prison in the London of 1725. Besides the conniving jailkeeper, there are his daughter, who favors the prisoners according to their money, a titled scoundrel, a poet, a whining condemned man, and a family prisoner dressed in exquisite lace. There is savage humor in their strategems, and the whole makes a shocking picture of historical justice.

"A distinguished and beautifully written play ... Rare qualities of style, grace, wit and sardonic humor." - N. Y. Post
