SAVING JANE AUSTEN by Daniel Curzon (ISBN 9780930650308)

The National Theatre

I am pleased to see at least two of my books listed in the LGBT list here on Redroom. (A good number of my plays actually are not gay in content, but who is quibbling!) But I did not see SOMETHING YOU DO IN THE DARK, and this is the FORTIETH anniversary of its publication by G. P. Putnam, May,...
