- Tekst achterkant boek:
- The three plays in this volume have a common theme - their central characters are at grips with a force infinitely greater than themselves.
- In Robert Boit's A Man for All Seasons (which had one of the biggest successes ever achieved by an English play in New York) Sir Thomas More's refusal to accept any false compromise leads him inevitably into comlict with Henry VIII over the royal divorce.
- The Devils by John Whiting is based on a true story of lust and hysteria in a French town in the seventeenth century in it the local priest prefers torture and martyrdom at the hands of the Church to confession of a crime he has not committed.
- Henry Livings's No Carborundum is a rip-roaring farco about an RAF station during a mock Invasion exercise, unlike the beroes of the two other pays.
- Noville Harrison, the cook, remains uninvolved and uncommitted in the confusion that surrounds him.
