The Plays
Clive's plays - initially far more obscure and witnessed only by tiny fringe audiences, but now being made available as texts. With current-day productions becoming more prevalent and with our own series of books,
Memory, Prophecy and Fantasy covering the plays in detail, the canon of pre-film work now stands ready for assessment...

Clive Barker (with the exception of Dangerous World, being a collection of
the words of William Blake put together by Doug Bradley and Oliver
Parker).
