description: These five short plays date from Brenton's early involvement in such 'shoestring' groups as Portable Theatre. They are deliberately intended for the 'poor theatre' - as relevant today as when they were first written - since each play requires a small cast and minimal set, yet yields maximum theatricality.Christie in Love , Gum and Goo , Heads and The Education of Skinny Spew , were all first staged in 1969. The Saliva Milkshake was first staged in 1975.
