Set in the dressing room of an actress who doesn't have a place of her own to live, \u003cem\u003eMy Place, \u003c\/em\u003eaccording to journalist Bernard Levin, is \"as cynical, hip, beat, amoral and generally with-it as could be.\" Author Clancy Sigal wrote, \"The best and most lasting thing about Miss Dundy's play is her depiction of a new race of working-class, provincial, free-living and insecure actors, without traditions or education and needing and resisting both. These are tough, poignant young people, wanting to be themselves but desperately afraid of being phonied up if anyone official, or anything systematic, touches them. In this sense they are symptomatic of that whole social class of 'new wave' young English people. We envy their groping and their embattled pride.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 04, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51891736052000,"sku":"9781965751220","price":10.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d9oxLJ5uaV9781965751220.webp?v=1781970680","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/my-place-a-play-by-the-author-of-the-dud-avocado-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
