Tanika Gupta: Political Plays by Tanika Gupta
One of the most consistently interesting and insightful playwrights working today, Political Plays shows an engagement with, and unravelling of, social conventions, gender stereotyping, and racial politics with a blistering wit. Plays includes Sugar Mummies, White Boy, Sanctuary and Gladiator Games, with an introduction by Aleks Sierz.
Raises fascinating questions about the differences between male and female sexuality and the relationship between the developed and the developing world * Independent on Sugar Mummies *
A dynamo of a play - an exuberant tragedy * Observer on White Boy *
I admire Gupta for using the stage to rub our noses in global reality * Guardian on Sanctuary *
A work of real political importance; painful to witness, but entirely essential * The Times on Gladiator Games *
