Editorial Reviews

Review

"Kane's achievement is to have humanised the antics of the pounding royals. Her sulphurous dialgoue is full of reeking toughness."—Evening Standard

"Sarah Kane's writing is both daring and accomplished."—Time Out

"Pure theatre or rather impure theatre: dirty, alarming, dangerous."—Observer

"Delivered with punch and laced with black humour."—Financial Times
