This is a gloriously raucous rites-of-passage drama from the adaptor of Festen. 'You've got to talk to them son. Listen to them. Look for a way in. You're a handsome bloke - they'll love you. Give me a year and I'll teach you everything I know.' There's an art to selling stilettos and you'd better grasp it. Learn a good wind-up, learn the pull of cash, learn drugs, learn sex, and run wild with the market monkeys. Stay sharp in the ruthless world of Essex traders. Romford Market, 1985: this boy has everything to learn. This is a spectacular, savage, gorgeous yarn, which brings a market jungle to the vast Olivier stage; it is a tale about the time Mrs Thatcher said we should embrace the marketplace; it is a story about losing your innocence, and your cherry. This publication is timed to coincide with the world premiere at the Royal National Theatre in May 2006. It follows the critical success of his new version of Ibsen's The Wild Duck (Donmar Warehouse 2005).
