Spoonface Steinberg by Lee Hall
This play about faith, love and the meaning of life was first broadcast on Radio Four in 1997 and is now published in this stage version.
Hall uses the oddball honesty and eccentric speech patterns of savant autism to explore immense philosophical and aesthetic themes, without losing the earthy practicality of a child going through medical and family troubles.. he links her small individual experience to all great tragedies in art and history, to the Holocaust and the indomitable universal spark of life. -- Libby Purves * The Times *
