Billy
Roach: The Cavalcaders
Reviewer Philip Fisher said "it is well worth seeing for
the pleasure of following the ways in which (Roche) works with
time, running two different time lines for much of the play, developing
into four or five at one highly pressured moment." (Review)

Frank
McGuinness: Dolly West's Kitchen
In his review of the Old Vic
production in 2000, Peter Lathan wrote, "McGuinness uses
laughter as just one of the means to lay bare the souls of his
characters." A funny but moving Irish play.

Fugard and Others: Sizwe Bansi Is Dead, The Island, Statements

Andrea
Dunbar: Rita, Sue and Bob Too AND Robin Soanes: A State Affair
Dunbar's play dates from 1982 and Soanes' from 2001 and what they
have in common is Bradford, plus what one might call a "ststae
of the nation" survey of life in this archetypal northern town.
Philip Fisher called seeing both play at the Soho in 2001 a "chilling
but worthwhile evening" in his review.
