When her first play, Eight, transferred from student theatre in
Edinburgh to the West End and then New York, Ella Hickson was still
in her early twenties. She has since built on that promise with a
series of engaged and engaging dramas that pit romanticism and
optimism against the realities of life as a young person in
Britain. Eight (Edinburgh Fringe, 2008), that astonishing first
success, is included here: a state-of-the-nation group portrait in
monologues, 'an interactive Talking Heads for 21st-century teens
and twentysomethings' (Independent). Also included is Hot Mess
(Edinburgh Fringe, 2010), a dark and lyrical tale about twins born
with just a single heart between them, and Precious Little Talent
(Edinburgh Fringe, 2009; West End, 2011), about two young adults
graduating into a world that's sold them down the river. In Boys
(HighTide Festival, Nuffield Theatre Southampton and Soho Theatre,
2012), the Class of 2011 faces a tricky transition to adulthood in
a play that 'powerfully captures the mood of a generation'
(Independent). The volume also contains an introduction by the
author and two short plays: the previously unpublished PMQ, part of
the Coalition season at Theatre503, London, in 2010; and Gift,
first seen as part of Headlong's immersive theatre production
Decade in 2011. 'On the cusp of greatness' Independent
