"In Shopping and Fucking, Mark Ravenhill made theatre relevant to
the Thatcher generation. Now he's put videos and Net-surfing in
Faust. And it's no less stunning" (Guardian) Twenty-eight years
before The Importance of Being Earnest, a young woman gives birth
to a baby boy. Is it an accident when Nanny places him in a handbag
and her unpublished novel into the pram? In 1998 a new baby is
stolen and an academic discovers an unpublished novel of more than
usual revolting sentimentality. From Victorian wet nurses to 90s
sperm banks, Mark Ravenhill's play examines the role of parenting
in an age of diverse sexualities, biological engineering and Tinky
Winky's handbag."There are few stage authors writing more
interestingly than Mark Ravenhill ...He is - it is now yet more
evident - a searing, intelligent, disturbing sociologist with a
talent for satirical dialogue and a flair for sexual
sensationalism" (Financial Times)
