ISBN Cartwright Plays 1 (Road; Bed; Two; The Rise and Fall of Little Voice)

Road: 'A surreal vision of the contemporary urban landscape...uncomfortable and magical, funny and bitter. It is a northern Under Milk Wood, high on pills and booze' (Sunday Times). Bed: 'Cartwright writes better about old people than anyone I know, except perhaps Beckett. This is an odd, harrowing and hilarious piece, entirely without sentimentality, sturdy but moving.' (John Peter, Sunday Times) Two: 'A sharp, salty quickfire evocation of the surface gaiety and underlying melancholia of English pub life.' (Michael Billington, The Guardian). The Rise and Fall of Little Voice: 'A northern showbiz fairytale, a backstreet Cinderella story, with a built-in kick.' (Guardian)
