The Curious Room: Plays, Film Scripts and an Opera

Résumé : Encompassing radio plays, and pieces for stage and screen, this volume explores familiar Carter preoccupations: myth and fairy tale; domestic murder and the violence underlying everyday life, and the rebellious victims of the repressive society. It includes the screenplays for "The Magic Toyshop" and "The Company of Wolves"; a draft for an opera of Virginia Woolf's "Orlando"; and reworkings for radio of "Puss in Boots" and "Dracula".
