Butterworth: Mojo
Butterworth's gangster play exploded onto the main stage at the

British theatre.

Greig: Casanova
Casanova was one of the highlights of the 2001 Edinburgh
Fringe, garnering somewhat mixed reviews. Greig is one of Scotland's
leading playwrights and is closely associated with theatre company
Suspect Culture. This is an important, if flawed, play.

Harrower: Kill the Old Torture Their Young

city at all levels of the social spectrum." Harrower is another
of Scotland's leading playwrights.
