Four full-length plays and two previously unpublished shorts from the multi-award-winning author of Jerusalem. Jez Butterworth burst onto the theatre scene aged twenty-five with Mojo; one of the most dazzling Royal Court main stage debuts in years (Time Out). This first volume of his Collected Plays contains that play plus the three that followed; as well as two short one-person pieces published here for the first time - everything in fact that precedes Jerusalem; unarguably one of the best dramas of the twenty-first century (Guardian). Plays One includes: Mojo; The Night Heron; The Winterling; Leavings (previously unpublished); Parlour Song and The Naked Eye (previously unpublished). Introducing the plays is an interview with Jez Butterworth specially conducted for this volume. The verbal menace of Harold Pinter [combined with] the physical violence of Quentin Tarantino The Times on Mojo Its funny; its sad; its haunting and it is also strangely beautiful. Best of all; it is quite unlike anything you have seen before Telegraph on The Night Heron Dazzling Guardian on The Winterling Wickedly funny Financial Times on Parlour Song

Pleasantly surprisedBy NashCI had previously read the Willie Perkins; Gregg Allman; and Chuck Leavell penned books about the band; so when I saw this book hit the shelves I didnt expect to learn a lot more about the band. Man was I wrong. A lot of the background of the ABB with Duane and Berry has been covered before; but the real gold mine in this book for me was the amount of material covered in the post Duane/Berry years. As someone who was first introduced to the ABB in the late 80s; I was especially thrilled to read the chapters that covered the 89-13 era. The details provided by people like Jack Pearson; Jimmy Herring; Oteil; Marc Quinones; Derek; Warren; and others of that period in the bands history was riveting to me. Thanks to Alan Paul for delivering what I consider the most comprehensive book about the 45 year history of The Allman Brothers Band. Its a must read for any ABB fan.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not Only The Best Book on a Band or Musician Ive Ever Read but one of the best books Ive ever read PERIODBy TomEBluzAn ethical person always states their biases up front so I will admit - I have been a huge Allman Brothers Band fan since I was a kid listening to Eat A Peach; Brothers and Sisters and Live At The Fillmore. I am now a happier and more enlightened fan thanks to the marvelous history of the band written by Alan Paul. I could not put the book down tells the history from before they started to today through the eyes of key players in the bands story in interviews. How ironic Warren and Derek have decided to leave at the end of this year. Greg says they will still do selected events so the band is not gone yet. Alan even gives his thoughts on all the recordings by the band and its members through the years in the back of the book. There are some awesome photos included as well. Two thumbs up - way up! Highly recommended!!!!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Definitive Allman Brothers BookBy Ryan W BelairOne Way Out is the only book about the Allman Brothers Band told in the words of the members of the band and those closest to the band. For this reason it is the definitive book on the Allman Brothers. Further Alan Paul is a true Allman Brothers fan. His knowledge of the band and the fans; along with his exclusive access to ABB family; allows him to share all the information any fan of the band would seek. I read the hard cover and then ended up purchasing the paper back version as well for the new final chapter and new photos. The final chapter covers the tumultuous last year of the ABB. Alan was along for the ride at that point so he has some really great first hand knowledge that makes the paperback a must have. He does a wonderful job of reporting and wrapping it all up. Alot of the information was kind of out there in one form or the other; but the new information and interviews in the paperback really bridged the gap and pull the story together. Highly recommended!
