This third collection of plays by Simon Stephens showcases the
development of one of the most exciting and impressive theatre
talents of recent years. The range of plays in this volume displays
a tough sensibility and a courage to confront the more unsettling
challenges of our times.
"Harper Regan" follows a woman's road trip through the heart of
England in a violent and comic exploration of the moralities of sex
and death. Quietly harrowing, this play is a barometer for our
times exploring dark secrets and familial estrangement.
"Marine Parade" is a musical about sex, betrayal and hope, set
in a run-down B&B on Brighton's waterfront. A moving and
poignant play, it 'captures the peculiar aroma of Brighton, with
its mix of the bracing and the melancholy' ("Guardian)."
Olivier award-winning play "On the Shore of the Wide World" is an
epic piece about love, family, Roy Keane and the size of the
galaxy.
"Punk Rock "is based Stephens' experience as a teacher and he
describes this play as '"The History Boys" on crack'. It explores
the underlying tensions and potential violence in a group of
affluent, articulate seventeen year old students.
