Leaves of Glass Summary

Leaves of Glass by Philip Ridley

'That's the way it works in this family. Believe what you wanna believe. Twist this. Ignore the other. That's how we survive.' Steven has always tried to be a good person. He works hard. He looks after his family. But, suddenly, everyone starts accusing him of things. His wife accuses him of being unfaithful. His mother accuses him of being coercive. And his brother, Barry, accuses him of...what exactly? Barry won't say. Or can't. Or perhaps... Steven hasn't done anything at all. Following its critically acclaimed premiere at Soho Theatre in 2007, Philip Ridley's gripping narrative of memory, manipulation, and power - now regarded as a modern classic - returns in a new production by long-time collaborators, Lidless Theatre. This edition was published alongside the production at the Park Theatre, London, in May 2023.

Leaves of Glass Reviews

'Lucid and restrained. The writing is packed with meaning. Listen hard. Every word matters.' * Sunday Times *
'It is like a shard of glass plunged straight into the heart.' * The Guardian *
'A brooding and eventually bruising emotional weight... a ferocity of feeling.' * The Stage *
'A work of considerable intelligence...hauntingly vivid. * The Times *
