John Logan: Plays One by John Logan

John Logan: Plays One by John Logan

The first play collection from multi-award-winning playwright John Logan, author of Red, Peter and Alice and I'll Eat You Last.

An electrifying new play-- Marilyn Stasio * Variety *
Simmering…fiction, memory and multi-way commentary seethe up against and amid one another. * The Financial Times *
A fresh, exciting portrait of a brilliant mind. -- Ben Brantley * The New York Times *
[I’ll Eat You Last is] very much worth crossing the playground, or indeed the Atlantic, to spend an evening with. * The Telegraph *
A moving, 90-minute theatrical chamber piece about childhood, growing up and the pressure of literary immortality…a beautiful and searching play that will live long in the memory. * The Telegraph *
It’s a heady sensation, thanks to the buoyant, witty writing of Mr. Logan… Tangy and funny…a delectable soufflé of a solo show. * The New York Times *
Funny and profane — and something of a cautionary tale. * The LA Times *
Plays about painters are fraught with difficulty. Either the hero preaches about art without practising it, or the Bohemian lifestyle supersedes the work. But John Logan’s play about Mark Rothko overcomes these obstacles with finesse… It’s a measure of the play’s success that it makes you want to rush out and renew acquaintance with Rothko’s work. -- Michael Billington * The Guardian *
Shattering in its intensity…the distressful, healing empathy which great theatre produces. If you are growing old, or love the old and recognise their youthfulness, it breaks your heart open. * The Times *
Smart and scintillating. RED deftly conjures what most plays about artists don’t: The exhilaration of the act. -- John Lahr * The New Yorker *
Bold, daring theatre that is unquestionably touched by greatness. * The Sunday Times *
