About the contributors
Reviews
-
Ridley is a visionary
Rolling Stone Magazine
-
Ridley is a singular writer, a prolific polymath, probably a genius, and the creator of some of the most peculiar, grotesque and compelling British plays (and films) of the last several years
Time Out
-
A two-hour story, that has a grey, banal surface, but which is like a shard of glass plunged straight into the heart.
The Guardian
-
I rely on Philip Ridley to leave me shaken and shocked. His considerable imagination reaches places I prefer not to visit, unless escorted by a writer of his moral seriousness.
Evening Standard
-
Ridley's play is not easy to watch, but it is constantly riveting.
