Isley Lynn Plays 1 - Lean; Skin A Cat; Albatross; The Swell

by Isley Lynn

~~28,61€~~ 25,75€ 10% OFF

 The first collection of plays from Olivier-nominated playwright Isley Lynn, whose award-winning work uplifts their deeply human characters through stories that are unexpected, radically intimate, and profoundly theatrical. Lean (2013): "It''s not just powerful but it''s incandescent. There is a profound intensity... that truly keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Sensitively written... Exemplary theatre at its best." The London Stage Skin A Cat (2016): "Frequently hilarious, it''s also refreshingly honest and open in its discussion of menstruation, masturbation, oral and anal sex, and might well be the smartest, sharpest piece about female sexual identity since Phoebe Waller Bridge''s Fleabag... this is bold and genuinely exciting new writing." The Stage albatross (2021): "Every intimate, individual scene is engaging, as the full-bodied characters knock up against their own judgments and histories... Lynn''s scenes are full of genuine connections between characters, and the hope that comes with change." Guardian The Swell (2023): "Isley Lynn''s characters are nuanced and beautifully drawn, and the play''s dialogue is gorgeously natural and flowing. Where the playwright really excels though, is in bold and unexpected choices. The Swell takes its audience on some hugely gripping twists and turns. Lynn''s writing is genuinely exciting." Evening Standard Isley won the Charles Wintour Most Promising Playwright Award at the 2023 Evening Standard Theatre Awards for The Swell, which was also nominated for Outstanding Achievement In An Affiliate Theatre at the 2024 Olivier Awards, as well as Best New Play, Best Director, and Best Production at the 2023 Off West End awards. Skin A Cat was awarded Pick Of The Year at Vault Festival 2016 and nominated for four Off West End Awards (Most Promising New Playwright - shortlist, Best New Play, Best Lead Female, Best Director) for its transfer as inaugural production at The Bunker, 2016, before touring nationally throughout 2018. Isley was the 2014 Script6 winner at The Space with Bright Nights, they received Special Commendation from the 2012 Soho Young Writers Award for Lomography, and they were twice named Champion of Literary Death Match (Norfolk and Norwich Festival, The Book Club London).

~~28,61€~~ 25,75€ 10% OFF

 Tom Morton-Smith is an Olivier Award-winning playwright whose works for the stage span intimate theatrical biopics to scientific explorations and broad epics. In this, his first play collection, his major stage works are brought together for the first time in a definitive edition showcasing his extensive range as a dramatist, and introduced by the author himself. In Doggerland: "Morton-Smith''s script is both poetic and philosophical, a thoughtful meditation on the impact of loss . . . a touching and funny play that explores the lives of four people brought together by tragedy and hope." (WhatsonStage) Oppenheimer: "A blast from start to finish . . . Tom Morton-Smith''s epic new play . . . ambitious in the very best way . . . it really delivers its payload in its final phase, as Oppenheimer finally rejects his humanity in favour of doing something truly inhuman to the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki." (Time Out) The Earthworks: "This small, often funny play focusing on two fragile people rubbing up against each other at a moment of change has its own quiet heroism. What appears to be a romantic comedy turns into something more unsettling ... raising questions about the limits of knowledge and our capacity to face up to the future." (Guardian) Ravens: "An elegant study of pressure and paranoia . . . Recounting the gruelling, 21-game clash, Ravens: Spassky vs Fischer is a taut and cerebral character study." (The Stage)

Morgan Lloyd Malcolm: Plays 1 - Belongings; The Wasp; Mum; When The Long Trick''S Over; The Passenger

by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm

~~25,03€~~ 22,53€ 10% OFF

 In her first collection of plays, Olivier award-winning playwright and screenwriter Morgan Lloyd Malcolm''s talent for writing complex female characters is on dazzling display. Belongings (2011): "Malcolm''s writing is sharp and witty but also very powerful in places. Her use of humour can be shocking but it helps to balance out the weighty issues being explored: guilt, gender and family politics, sex as both a commodity and a weapon. Touching, funny and brutal, this is - on many levels - an impressive first work." - Exeunt The Wasp (2015): "Morgan Lloyd Malcolm''s two-hander is sprung like a bear trap, a play with very sharp teeth." - The Stage Mum (2021): "Lloyd Malcolm, who resurrected a 17th-century feminist poet for her riotous 2018 hit Emilia, here spills the dark side of modern maternity: exhausted anxiety, love-hate co-dependency, what happens when your very worst fears come true." - Evening Standard When The Long Trick''s Over (2022): "Grief can feel like drowning. And in Morgan Lloyd Malcolm''s play about a swimmer with the challenge to cross the Channel, it is voluminous." - Guardian The Passenger (2021): Originally commissioned and produced by Shakespeare''s Globe, this piece recounts the experience of the author''s childhood terrors. A shadowy figure who follows. Has it followed us here? How will she escape him? The Passenger was staged as a part of the first Terrifying Women showcase at the Golden Goose Theatre, London, in October 2021. Morgan Lloyd Malcolm''s play Emilia became a hit show in summer 2018 before transferring to the West End in 2019, winning three Olivier awards. Her adaptation of her play The Wasp completed filming at the end of 2022 starring Naomie Harris and Natalie Dormer and directed by Guillem Morales. Her play Belongings was shortlisted for the Charles Wintour Most Promising Playwright Award. She formed Terrifying Women with Abi Zakarian, Sampira and Amanda Castro in 2021 with an aim to producing more horror in theatre.

 ''Playwright David Ireland challenges people to draw lines between what they find funny and what they find outrageous'' (Sydney Morning Herald) This first collection of plays by David Ireland brings together three of his most successful hits that have enjoyed numerous productions around the world alongside two previously unpublished plays: Half a Glass of Water: ''The dialogue is brutal and tender, horrific and humorous ... this is a tough, challenging work, undercut by Ireland''s trademark black humour, which asks questions of what a successful post-conflict society looks like.'' (Independent) The End of Hope: ''A freewheeling, majestically entertaining, all-too-brief hour that touches on everything from religion and identity to body dysmorphia'' (Times) Cyprus Avenue: ''The most shocking play on the London stage ... a blackly comic examination of sectarian hatred - and a subversive drama that has never been more relevant'' (Guardian) Ulster American: ''What a brave, savage writer David Ireland is! There are moments in this play that are so shockingly provocative, so laugh-out-loud funny while simultaneously curl-into-a-ball-and cringe-worrying that I found my mouth was actually open. He can''t go there, I thought. And then he did.'' (WhatsOnStage) Sadie: ''A fascinating account of one woman, her troubles and the Troubles.''

 Since her early break-through at the Royal Court Theatre in 1995, where she won the George Devine award and was joint winner of the Verity Bargate Award, Judy Upton has proven herself to be one of Britain''s most prolific and diverse writers. In this, her second collection, we see work ranging from 1995 through to the 2000s and a collection of short work created during the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic. Bruises (1995) Royal Court Theatre, London - "This is no angry polemic but a subtly atmospheric piece ... Neither writer nor director seeks easy answers in this coolly disturbing view of an issue usually hammered home with both fists." (Evening Standard) The Girlz (1998) Orange Tree, London - "Judy Upton''s ever-promising career takes another small leap forward with this tantalising foray into characteristic Upton territory, the febrile world of foul-mouthed, disadvantaged young females from the south-east." (Time Out) Sliding With Suzanne (2001) Royal Court Theatre, London - "Judy Upton probably won''t thank me for saying so, but her new play, Sliding with Suzanne, comes over as that rarest of phenomena - a contemporary play with a Right-wing agenda. If Margaret Thatcher went to see it she would be appalled by the language and much of the action but would, I suspect, end up applauding its sentiments." (Telegraph) Gaby Goes Global (2009) New Wimbledon Theatre, London - A wry and mischievous look at the benefits system, and the world of fine art. Gaby is a downtrodden employment advisor at the Benefit Delivery Centre. She tries to get rich by promoting the struggling artists who sign on. But it is Gaby who grabs all the attention - with the sort of exposure she hadn''t bargained for... Lockdown Tales (2020) - "a story of struggle, hope, even more struggle and then hope which provides a sensitive and sincere insight into the mind of a key worker during lockdown … a must watch and is the epitome of the type of work that should be produced during lockdown."

Simon Stephens Plays 5 - Wastwater; Birdland; Blindsided; Song From Far Away; Heisenberg

25,03€ + 10% CARD

 "Stephens writes dramas set in uncaring, uncompromising worlds, whose characters speak in a language at once naturalistic and yet artificially pared-down and whose uncertain attempts to assert their own identities sometimes lead to gratuitous and brutal acts of violence." - Financial Times A fifth collection of plays by one of Britain''s most prolific contemporary playwrights, Simon Stephens, charting his work from 2011-2016, ranging from London''s Royal Court Theatre, Manchester''s Royal Exchange and Broadway. Wastwater (2011) "Metaphoric, allusive, and thoroughly disturbing in its evocation of suspicion and uncertainty, Wastwater is a thought-provoking play whose quiet intensity stays with you for days - its effect is like that of a ugly stone dropped into a pool, which results in constant ripples of dirty water lapping at your subconscious" (Aleks Sierz) Birdland (2014) "Mega-fame and limitless cash can turn a man into a monster, and Simon Stephens''s new play excellently evokes its hero''s spiritually shrunken world" (Michael Billington, Guardian) Blindsided (2014) "the dialogue has a rare quality of moment-by-moment intensity" (Telegraph) Song From Far Away (2015) "a meditative monologue - a searching study of impotently self-aware emotional insufficiency" (Independent) Heisenberg (2016) "Mr. Stephens ... is an uncannily subtle dramatist who never wears his depths on the surface ... he probes clichés until they fall apart, before reassembling them into solid but transformed shapes, reminding us why such clichés have become enduring elements of our collective mythology." (Ben Brantley, New York Times)
