THE FEVER / WALLACE SHAWN / FIRST PRINTING PB UK FABER 1991 / PLAY MONOLOGUE, NF

Description: From the iconic actor and playwright behind "My Dinner with Andre" comes a dramatic one-man monologue featuring an unammed man confined to his hotel room in a poverty-stricken country as acts of political poersecution occur just outside his window. As the play progresses, he becomes increasingly consumed by fear, uncertainty, guilt, and questions about how to live ethically in an unethical world. Naturally, all the injustices, inequities, wars, and pandemics we've been enduring have brought some new attention to Shawn's work, and "The Fever" has regained some popularity. Pictured here is a rare first printing of the first UK edition published in 1991 by Faber. This was issued as a paperback original in the UK, and you seldom find this edition for sale in the States. Condition: A very good to near-fine first UK paperback printing of Shawn's masterful play. Wraps are in very good shape, with minor edge wear and shelf wear to corners. Some toning to page ends. Otherwise, perfect. A square, straight copy with a tight binding. Internally unblemished with clean, crisp pages. NO previous owner names. NO writing. Apparently unread. "I am afraid of what is happening to me. I am afraid of what is happening to the world." Winner of the 1991 Obie Award for Best Play. A great copy of a play that remains suitable to our times.
