Plays - Tome 1

Philip Ridley's groundbreaking first three plays - The Pitchfork Disney, The Fastest Clock in the Universe and Ghost from a Perfect Place - heralded the arrival of a unique and disturbing voice in the world of contemporary Brama. `Philip Ridley is a singular writer, a prolific polymath, probably a genius, and the creator of some of the most peculiar, grotesque and compelling British plays (and films) of the last several years.' Time Out. `Ridley is delving into a sulphurous imagination for sonic of the most potent and indelible images you're likely to find this side of sleep.' Scotland on Sunday. `Philip Ridley's work is compelling, original and about as nasty as you can get ... it should be burnt by the public executioner.' Daily Telegraph. `Philip Ridley uses theatre as a vehicle for the imagination. His rooms are claustrophobic crucibles, in which the modern age disgorges its most hideous imagery.'
