![]() It has slightly yellowed pages and the hint of old book smell from the book cupboard it was kept in.Įvery time I visited, I anxiously pored over the pages of the book, desperately trying to solve the riddles some were easy enough, others proved a little trickier and offered red herrings. Published in 1979, it belonged to my Dad as a boy and remained at my grandparents’ house. My copy of the book is a little battered around the edges but otherwise in good condition to say that it’s over 40 years old. It’s not unusual to have adventure in a story book that leads to treasure, but it is quite rare when the treasure hunt is real and the promised treasure is genuinely buried for the readers to find.

For that long, the United States had provided political support and, more recently, massive military assistance to the government of the shah of Iran. The beginnings of this crisis preceded Jimmy Carter’s term by almost thirty years.

The chorus speaks in very formal, rhetorical language and explains that the subject of this play will not be that which is usually depicted in dramas.

The chorus is also used to express the author's views and to remind the audience of the proper moral to be learned from the play itself.

He makes time for his friends and he schedules his responsibilities to fit in around his composing efforts. Clive is at pains to shrug off the ‘creative genius must-not-be-disturbed while in seclusion’ tag.
