Plays by Women Reviews

'Hooray for Claire Luckham's The Choice... a rich, challenging and extraordinary drama.' Observer 'Phyllis Nagy's stunning debut, a bitterly funny and chillingly surreal look at the soulless poverty of urban life. ...It's daring stuff, written with an understanding for the subtle power and violence of language.' Independent
