Wesker On Theatre is a collection of essays by one of Britain's most well-known, prolific and controversial writers, which explores his thoughts on drama and the theatre gained from a writing career that spans fifty years.

Often controversial, Wesker On Theatre is a challenging and thought-provoking volume.
