“ Playing with stereotypes with serious intent, this play is an engrossing drama with recognisable characters which takes unexpected turns and works on two levels. The story of a high school nerd who after honourable military service writes a bestseller. But also asking how much a nation’s story, especially a ‘victorious’ nation’s story, is manufactured from literary stereotypes and a nation’s audience consent to, even collude in, a narrative becoming a ‘legal’ history, along with the spoils of war. With equally weighty roles for four actors, People Of The Book is a challenging and always enthralling drama. ”
