"The original script of the show itself, out of print for many years, contains some of the funniest writing ever. From Alan Bennett's cleric to Peter Cook's miner, from Dudley Moore's parody of Britten to Jonathan Miller's saga of the blue trousers, it sparkles with classic gems of wit and nonsense. This volume also contains the music of Dudley Moore's songs, the texts of a number of sketches included in the subsequent Broadway production, an account of the show's performance history by Roger Wilmut, and postscripts written 25 years later by three of the authors."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
