a full bibliography of his plays is being compiled by Sue Lloyd, Publisher, the Genge Press, Minehead suelloyd00@aol.com. Christopher Fry was born arthur Hammond Harris on December 18th 1907 in Bristol. His father, Charles was a master builder and then a full time lay reader in the Church of england. Believing that his mother, Emma was a descendant of Elizabeth Fry the reformer he adopted the surname Fry and later like Elizabeth became a Quaker. He attended Bedford Modern School first as a pupil then as a teacher. In 1932 he gave up teaching to run the Tunbridge Wells Repertory Players - which he had founded. He had written plays whilst still a schoolboy and his career as a professional playwright took off when he was asked to write a play about Saint Cuthman. the play "the Boy With a Cart". When it was eventually put on in London in 1950 it starred Richard Burton. In 1936 he married Phyllis Hart. they had one son - Tam. as a Quaker he was a conscientious objector and spent part of the War cleaning sewers. In 1947 he was commissioned to write a play for the Arts Theatre - this was "the Lady's Not For Burning". It was a great success transferring from the Arts Theatre to a West end Theatre and then to Broadway. By the late 1950s he began to fall out of favour - he continued to write plays but never achieved the successes he had had. He died in Chichester on 30th June 2005. Phyllis had died in 1987

Ring Round the Moon: A Charade With Music

Ring Round the Moon: A Charade With Music
according to atkinson (Times), a play "of many moods. . .wistfully romantic, satirical, fantastic. . .To make his points about love (the author) has invented a fable about twin brothers-FredEric, who is shy and sensitive, and Hugo, who is heartless and aggressive. FredEric is in love with a hussy who is in love with Hugo. To save FredEric from an unhappy marriage, Hugo tries to distract him by bringing to a ball a beautiful dancer who masquerades as a mysterious personage and becomes the triumph of the occasion. She is a susceptible maiden in her own right. She not only breaks up all the cynical romances that have been going on before she arrived, but loses her own heart as well."

Yard Of Sun, A

Synopsis:
a 'summer comedy' set in Sienna just after World War II. In the courtyard of the Palazzo del Traguardo ("traguardo" means goal or winning-post) in Siena, Italy, during the summer of 1946, the year of the ' first Palio race after the devastation of the War, angelino Bruno, the caretaker, prepares to reopen the Palazzo and welcome the new owners. He tells his sons Roberto and Luigi (a third son, edmondo, had left home intent on becoming rich by whatever means) the great news that the great jockey Cambriccio will be riding for them in the Palio: a horse race where the horses represent different wards (contzade) of Siena. a rival jockey, alfio, comes searching for his lost father, Cesare Scapare. Giosetta Scapare, angelino's neighbour, Cesares wife and mother of Grazia (who had found alfio looking for the Palazzo), tells alfio that his Father had been arrested three years ago and has not returned, and that Grazia is his half sister. Though admiring alfio's courage to show up in rival territory, the Bruno brothers advise him to leave before he gets attacked. the new Palazzo owners arrive, and turn out to be the now wealthy edmondo and his wife, ana-Clara. the reunion turns chaotic as Roberto's resentment of his brother becomes heated, news comes of Cesare's returning, and Cambriccio is injured in a trial run of the race. Luigi becomes the unlikely winner of the Palio, and each member of the family heads towards their individual. goals.
