Synopsis
The Killing of Sister George
Published by Samuel French Ltd
0 Male 4 Female
Because of the struggle for ratings, and because there is gossip of notoriety in her personal life, the BBC decides to "kill her off" by having her involved in an accident
The woman who comes to make the deathblow announcement is rather pleased to see that the gamey gossip about her home life is true, for here she finds the cigar smoking, gin drinking, hard cursing Sister George waited on slavishly by a female lover whom the woman proceeds to steal from her
REVIEWS
"A fine play audacious and exhilarating, straightforward and strong, comic and cutting. . . . Line after line, scene after scene, the play tops itself. . . . You can laugh yourself out of breath" ~ N.Y. World Journal Tribune
