The work represents a significant contribution to the British dramatic literature of the mid-20th century, showcasing Bridie's characteristic wit and intellectual engagement with social and moral themes. As part of a larger collection of his dramatic writings, this play explores complex character dynamics through sharp dialogue and innovative structure. This edition provides the essential publication details, including the original London publisher, Constable & Co Ltd, and references to his other celebrated plays such as The King of Nowhere and A Sleeping Clergyman. The text remains a key resource for scholars of classic drama and those interested in the historical development of 20th-century theatre and the evolution of Bridie's extensive theatrical bibliography.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/what-say-they-a-play-in-two-acts/566919/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/what-say-they-a-play-in-two-acts/566919.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Mia  ","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-10-13",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":24},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Who is the author of the play What Say They?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The play was written by the playwright James Bridie (Osborne Henry Mavor).","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"When was What Say They?
