After its successful West End run in 1965, it won the Evening Standard Award for the most promising playwright of the year. The drama blends seriousness, irony, and youthful wit as Mercer explores loyalty to a working-class family alongside the allure of sophisticated urban success, confronting guilt through the three

WestEnd.For many years DavidMercer had had a growingreputation as an exciting newdramatist,but his plays werethought to be too controversialfor West End audiences.How-ever,after its successful run in1965,Ride a Cock Horse wonfor its author the EveningStandard Award for the mostpromising playwright of theyear.  \nLike John Osborne,DavidMercer is concerned with socialproblems.Coming from aworking-class background inYorkshire,Mercer feels sharplythe inequalities inherent in theEnglish class system.Ride aCock Horse projects the au-thor's own agonized attemptsto reconcile the loyalty he feelsfor his working-class familywith the sweets that successbrings in a sophisticated,urbansociety.The play is a seriousdrama that is salted with ironyand with the wit of an energeticyoung man who tries to losehis guilt in the three women inhis life.  \nMONROE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE822 M554r  \nMercer,David,1928-1980.Ride a cock horse;a play.33131000086565  \n822 M554rMERCERRIDE A COCK HORSE
