Summary: | A collection of six plays by one of the most distinctive playwrights working today. Born bad (Hampstead Theatre, 2003; winner of the Olivier Award for Best Newcomer) dives headlong into the heart of a conflicted family, unleashing wit, ferocity and verbal dexterity on the way. Dirty butterfly (Soho Theatre, 2003) is a mesmerising study of voyeurism, power and guilt. Generations (National Theatre Platform performance, 2005; Young Vic, 2007) follows three generations of a Black South African family comparing cooking skills - but food isn't the only topic and the family numbers are declining. Stoning Mary (Royal Court Theatre, 2005) confronts the reality of global conflicts, transposing them to the West. Trade (Royal Shakespeare Company, 2005) shines a light on the world of female sex tourism. Random (Royal Court Theatre, 2008) is set over one day, following one family and the effects of one random act of violence.
