Iron by Rona Munro
Royal Court opening for last summer's Edinburgh Festival success: a tough new play set in a women's prison by 'one of Scotland's brightest dramatists' (The Times) Fay murdered her husband with a kitchen knife 15 years ago and got a life sentence. Now her 25-year-old daughter, Josie, who hasn't seen her mother since, comes to visit her and discover why she can remember nothing that occurred before that awful evening.
'Rona Munro's quietly impressive play seems simple enough on the surface, but, like her characters, it has hidden depthsIt is a love story about how women love men unwisely and too well, and about the painful, twisted, sacred love between mothers and daughters' Guardian 'An exceptionally gripping and deeply moving play... This is psychological drama at its best - tense, harrowing, yet also powered by an unsentimental fund of compassion. In its later stages, sniffs and sobs of emotion could be heard among the audience... Munro never sounds a false note' Daily Telegraph
