Review
Slag
"An embattled contemporary morality play full of sardonic fun and spiky indignation...What an enviable debut: funny, intelligent and briskly honest."--Sunday Times
Teeth 'n' Smiles
"The writing is bright with aggression...a flintily intelligent play."--The Times
Knuckle
"I beg all lovers of the theatre, and all those concerned for its future, to see Knuckle."--Sunday Telegraph
Licking Hitler
"Beginning with a middle-class young woman's unceremonious introduction to specialized war work, it develops with a devastating economy of means into a dramatization of the unarguable logic of deception...elegant, spare and as lucid as crystal."--Observer
Plenty
"Brilliant...it deepens with every viewing."--Mel Gussow, New York Times
