Laura Wade: Plays One

-If one of the problems facing new playwrights is the expectation that each of their plays should be similar in style, Wade-proved that you could radically change both form and content- Not every writer delivers on their early promise. As this collection clearly shows, Wade certainly has.- Aleks Sierz, from his IntroductionColder Than Here: -Laura Wade-s play is a 90-minute masterpiece, a jewel, dark bu ttranslucent. It is a play of love, death and grief: the grief that is hardest to bear, because it begins before the loved one dies.- Sunday TimesBreathing Corpses: -The tension, the emotions and the sense of absurdity and fear are brilliantly handled... A terrifying tour de force.- Sunday TimesOther Hands: -This is an extraordinary feat - a vicious satire with a heart of gold -wrought with peculiar subtlety and intelligence.- The Spectator
