Yen by Anna Jordan

Yen by Anna Jordan

Anna Jordan's Bruntwood Prize-winning play, Yen explores a childhood lived without boundariesand the consequences of being forced to grow upon your own.

'To say that Yen is absorbing would be an understatement.. what's most remarkable about Anna Jordan's writing is the taut mixture of incipient violence and utter, heart-wrenching tenderness'

* Exeunt Magazine *

'[A] terrifying, witty, and compassionate study of the awful penalties of growing up alone and without boundaries'

* Independent *

'A savage study of two teenage boys abandoned by society… leaves a lump in the throat that won't go down'

* Time Out *

'[A] brutal but tender study of brotherhood... the dynamic range of Jordan's writing is extraordinary... achieves the uncommon feat of being difficult to watch yet easy to love'

* Guardian *

'Very impressive... [Jordan] has a great ear for dialogue'

* British Theatre Guide *
