Ghost From A Perfect Place by Philip Ridley
The plot of this play centres around the return of celebrated gangster, Travis Flood, to his old manor after 20 years. Where has he been? And why did he go away in the first place? Philip Ridley won the Evening Standard's Most Promising Playwright Award for "The Fastest Clock in the Universe".
Philip Ridley's third stage play is like a lethal cocktail complete with its own antidoteIt is nostalgic, sardonic and savage. Its poetry is like a knuckle-duster in words. -- John Peter * Sunday Times *
