"Young playwrights don't come much hotter than Phyllis Nagy" (Daily Telegraph)Includesher three Royal Court -performed plays Weldon Rising "Here is the bestnew play I have seen in many months...This play is exciting because itis well written, unusually constructed and morally serious." (FinancialTimes); in Butterfly Kiss "Nagy captures the texture of a life andwrites short, vivid, often disturbingly erotic scenes...it's a playthat leaves me proclaiming Nagy a writer of real talent" (Guardian),Disappeared (winner of the Mobil Prize,1995) "A piece that gets rightunder your skin...There's no neat solution to Nagy's conundrum, just afog of fear, despair, and most remarkably of all, a final mirage ofescape. Spine-tingling stuff" (Daily Telegraph) The Strip,"kaleidoscopic and hugely accomplished dissection of fate, love andchance" (Independent)"Each play I see by Phyllis Nagy confirmsme in the belief that she is the finest playwright to have emerged inthe 1990s" (Financial Times)
