Three plays that dismantle the myths modern life runs on: class mobility, marriage, and work.

From Shaw’s forensic exposure of language as social control, to Albee’s brutal anatomy of intimacy and performance, to Miller’s quiet, devastating autopsy of the American dream — these texts treat the domestic sphere as a vacuum. What looks ordinary becomes tragic is simply through expectation.

Together, Pygmalion, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and Death of a Salesman form a tight study in power, language, masculinity, and failure. They're all staged in living rooms, over dinners, inside marriages, at work.

Sold as a set. Lots of lovely illustrations in each.

Light pencil markings inside; structurally sound and very readable. Ideal for readers interested in modern drama, social pressure, and the slow violence of “normal” life.
