David Greig has been described as one of the most interesting and adventurous British dramatists of his generation (Daily Telegraph) and one of the most intellectually stimulating dramatists around (Guardian). Since he began writing for theatre in the early nineties; his work has been both copious and remarkably varied; defying neat generalisations or attempts to pigeon-hole his work. Besides his original plays; he has adapated classics; is co-founder of the Suspect Culture Theatre Group and is currently Dramaturge for the National Theatre of Scotland. This Critical Companion provides an analytical survey of his work; from his early plays such as Europe and The Architect through to more recent works Damascus; Dunsinane and Ramallah; it also considers the plays produced with Suspect Culture and his work for young audiences. As such it is the first book to provide a critical account of the full variety of his work and will appeal to students and fans of contemporary British theatre.Clare Wallace provides a detailed analysis of a broad selection of plays and their productions; reviews current discourses about his work and offers a framework for enquiry. The Companion features an interview with David Greig and a further three essays by leading academics offering a variety of critical perspectives.

I have been a huge fan of the movie and TV installments; so a comic edition filling in the story between the two mediums was a wonderful addition to the franchise. The stories reach well beyond the recommended age range and the artwork is sensational.The Riders of Berk releases:Vol.1 Dragon Down (May 27; 2014)Vol.2 Dangers of the Deep (Nov 04; 2014)Vol.3 The Ice Castle (Jan 06; 2015)Vol.4 The Stowaway (Mar 03; 2015)Vol.5 The Legend of Ragnarok (Aug 04; 2015)Vol.6 Underworld (Oct 13; 2015)The Collectors Edition -- Large Hardcover Format + extras (Nov 17; 2015) : Vol.1 Dragon Down + Vol.2 Dangers of the Deep[s description of these are not always accurate...]Collection Vol.1 : Tales From Berk -- Collected Edition (Feb 16; 2016) : Vol.1 Dragon Down + Vol.2 Dangers of the DeepCollection Vol.2 : The Enemies Within... -- Collected Edition (Apr 19; 2016) : Vol.3 The Ice Castle + Vol.4 The StowawayCollection Vol.3 : Myths Mysteries -- Collected Edition (Oct 18; 2016) : Vol.5 The Legend of Ragnarok + Vol.6 Underworld2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
