Description
Book SynopsisWritten in the aftermath of World War II,
Love Goes to Press opened in London in 1946 and on Broadway in 1947. At the time a relief for the survivors of Blitzkrieg and ration cards, today it is a devilishly entertaining portrayal of the Battle of the Sexes.
Trade Review“
Love Goes to Press’s primary interest lies with its enduring humour and stageworthiness. Directors looking for plays by and about women would do well to consider it.”—Deborah Zike,
Theatre Research International“
Love Goes to Press was clearly fun to write and it must have played at a spanking pace.”—
Times Literary Supplement “What’s fascinating about
Love Goes to Press is its saucy heroines’ mix of competence, ambition, and lovelornness. . . . It’s great to have them liberated from literary obscurity.”—Carolyn Clay,
Boston Phoenix Literary Section/DIV>
“Hilarious and fast-paced, the play has a brilliant ending that leaves readers to their own imaginations. And 50 years later, the characterization of the protagonists is still contemporary and real.”—Ming-Ming Shen Kuo,
Library Journal“This marvelously witty farce enjoyed a long, healthy run in London's West End.”—Jack Helbig,
Booklist"Editor Sandra Spanier does a fine job, in this expanded edition of
Love Goes to Press, of providing historical and literary context for the play."—Kaja Katamay,
