London: Faber & Faber, 1957. 1st. hardback. Near fine, 1st edition, missing d/j, text block firm, pages unmarked.. 8vo: crown (200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_""). Set against the backdrop of post-war Britain, John Osborne's The Entertainer conjures the seedy glamour of the old music halls for an explosive examination of public masks and private torment, a role made famous by Sir Laurence Olivier. First staged at the Royal Court Theatre, London, only eleven months after the opening of Osborne's iconic Look Back in Anger, the play has become a classic of twentieth-century drama.

Description:
London; Faber and Faber, 1957., 1957. Hard Cover. FIRST EDITION. Octavo, pp 89. Original jade green cloth with gilt titles to spine in unclipped pictorial dust-jacket with photograph by Tony Armstrong-Jones. Cover cloth lightly rubbed and top edge a little dusty; faint foxing to endpapers otherwise contents clean and fresh. Jacket toned, mainly to rear white panel, and repaired at head and tail of spine; reverse edges skilfully covered with cream adhesive tape. Overall a Near Fine copy in Very Good jacket. The follow-up to Osborne's runaway success "Look Back in Anger", "The Entertainer" starred Laurence Olivier as failing music-hall artist Archie Rice; the play used the entertainment scene as a metaphor for the changing world political situation and the fading British Empire.
