"Doug Lucie is perhaps the only young British dramatist with a truly distinctive voice and in Fashion, it is at its most splendidly scornful, bilious and charmless." Benedict Nightingale (The Times) Doug Lucie is one of Britain's most acerbic playwrights. Described as "thrillingly acute and a serious piece of writing" (Independent), his play Fashion captured the spirit of the Thatcherite age with chilling accuracy. Premiered at the RSC at The Other Place in 1987, it was subsequently revived at The Tricycle Theatre, Kilburn in 1990 and won a Time Out award. Also included are Progress and Hard Feelings, which established Lucie's genius for social comedy and Doing The Business, a bitingly sardonic indictment of business sponsorship for the Arts.

This collection includes four of the best plays from one of the leading playwrights of the 80s Progress: 'A small, anguished, hilarious masterpiece' Evening Standard; Fashion: 'One of the best plays of the 1980s - a rancid, state-of-the-nation account of a corrupt advertising supremo pitching for the Tory account in the run-up to a general election' Daily Telegraph; Grace: 'This is a clear, strong, thoughtful and tough play, full of cruel humour and an entirely unpatronising sense of moral judgement' (Sunday Times); Gaucho: 'Savagely entertaining ...Lucie's dialogue is smooth and insinuatingly funny' (Evening Standard)

Follow the fortunes of a left-wing theatre company, written by acclaimed dramatist Doug Lucie.

It’s 1985 and the Stage Left Theatre Collective is founded by a group of friends with a shared vision: Emma, the artistic manager and Robert the literary manager, director Saul, playwright Alan, and finance manager, Frank. This funny, moving and pin sharp drama follows the fate of the company and its members over the course of four decades. We catch up with the characters as they negotiate changing cultural and economic climates. There are clashing ideals, conflicting egos, personal grievances, differing tastes and petty quarrels. The company’s dramatic tenth anniversary, the meteoric rise of one of its members and escalating tensions are brought into sharp relief when a tragedy brings the group together.

However, at the heart of this drama is the story of a group of idealistic friends who see their vision refined, altered, dented, rebuilt, and corroded by the wider artistic and cultural landscape. Can their shared dream endure through it all?

For nearly half a century, Doug Lucie has been a key figure in contemporary writing for the British stage with a string of influential successes. His plays have been produced at the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Other Place and the Royal Court. Stage Left also stars Olivier award winning actor Alex Jennings, best known for his roles in The Crown, The Lady in the Van, and performances on the London stage.
