This volume contains the complete dramatic works of Charles Williams. Williams' plays can be enjoyed at more than one level. Though what they have in common is the author's gift for poetic expression, they also demonstrate his range. Complex theology, knockabout farce, and historical tragedy are all represented here. The plays are simple enough for amateur performances but subtle enough to give scope for many interpretations.

Thomas Cranmer of Canterbury
Judgement at Chelmsford * Seed of Adam
The Death of Good Fortune
The House by the Stable
Grab and Grace or It's the Second Step
The House of the Octopus
Terror of Light
The Three Temptations
