Williams Plays: 4 by Roy Williams
‘[Williams’s] plays have brought the experience of black urban youth onto the stage' Observer Sucker Punch: 'As usual with Williams, the dialogue is crisp and bespoke: motives are mixed, nobody is a hero, nothing is just black and white.' The Times Joe Guy: ‘Williams's dialogue ricochets around the stage like gunfire . . . energetic, exciting and entertaining.’ Stage Category B: ‘Category B is a harrowing play, but one shot through with both dark humour and tentative flickers of hope’. Daily Telegraph Baby Girl: ‘The shocking thing about Roy Williams's Baby Girl is that it argues that there is a cyclical pattern to teenage pregnancy . . . Williams paints a rivetingly plausible picture of a world in which mothers and daughters are sexual rivals, ‘virgin’ is the ultimate peer insult and the school gates are a fertile hunting ground for male predators.’ Guardian There’s Only One Wayne Matthews: 'Williams's writing is punchy . . . Wayne's gradual understanding of the realities of the world make this a touching coming-of-age drama.' Guardian
