Since her early break-through at the Royal Court Theatre in 1995,
where she won the George Devine award and was joint winner of the
Verity Bargate Award, Judy Upton has proven herself to be one of
Britain's most prolific and diverse writers. In this, her second
collection, we see work ranging from 1995 through to the 2000s and
a collection of short work created during the 2020 Coronavirus
pandemic. Bruises (1995) Royal Court Theatre, London - "This is no
angry polemic but a subtly atmospheric piece ... Neither writer nor
director seeks easy answers in this coolly disturbing view of an
issue usually hammered home with both fists." (Evening Standard)
The Girlz (1998) Orange Tree, London - "Judy Upton's ever-promising
career takes another small leap forward with this tantalising foray
into characteristic Upton territory, the febrile world of
foul-mouthed, disadvantaged young females from the south-east."
(Time Out) Sliding With Suzanne (2001) Royal Court Theatre, London
- "Judy Upton probably won't thank me for saying so, but her new
play, Sliding with Suzanne, comes over as that rarest of phenomena
- a contemporary play with a Right-wing agenda. If Margaret
Thatcher went to see it she would be appalled by the language and
much of the action but would, I suspect, end up applauding its
sentiments." (Telegraph) Gaby Goes Global (2009) New Wimbledon
Theatre, London - A wry and mischievous look at the benefits
system, and the world of fine art. Gaby is a downtrodden employment
advisor at the Benefit Delivery Centre. She tries to get rich by
promoting the struggling artists who sign on. But it is Gaby who
grabs all the attention - with the sort of exposure she hadn't
bargained for... Lockdown Tales (2020) - "a story of struggle,
hope, even more struggle and then hope which provides a sensitive
and sincere insight into the mind of a key worker during lockdown
... a must watch and is the epitome of the type of work that should
be produced during lockdown." (A Younger Theatre)
