Nagy Plays: 1: Weldon Rising, Disappeared, the Strip, Butterfly Kiss

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)
