‘A spicy work of biographical conjecture ... It's also a rousing
reminder of the countless creative women who have been written out
of history or have had to fight relentlessly to make themselves
heard.’ EVENING STANDARD ‘The great virtue of Lloyd Malcolm’s
speculative history lies in its passion and anger: it ends with a
blazing address to the audience that is virtually a call to arms.
It is throughout, however, a highly theatrical piece ... In
rescuing Emilia from the shades, [the play] gives her dramatic life
and polemical potency.’ GUARDIAN The little we know of Emilia
Bassano Lanier (1569 - 1645) is that she may have been the Dark
Lady of Shakespeare's Sonnets, mistress of Lord Chamberlain, one of
the first English female poets to be published, a mother, teacher
who founded a school for women, and radical feminist with North
African ancestry. Living at a time when women had such limited
opportunities, Emilia Lanier is therefore a fascinating subject for
this speculative history. In telling her story, Morgan Lloyd
Malcolm represents the stories of women everywhere whose narratives
have been written out of history. Originally commissioned for
Shakespeare's Globe with an all-female cast, Emilia is published
here as a Methuen Drama Student Edition with commentary and notes
by Elizabeth Schafer, Professor of Drama at Royal Holloway,
University of London, UK.

Winner of the Noel Coward Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy at
the 2020 Olivier Awards In 1611 Emilia Bassano wrote a volume of
radical, feminist and subversive poetry. It was one of the first
published collections of poetry written by a woman in England. The
little we know of Emilia Bassano is restricted to the possibility
that she may have been the 'Dark Lady' of Shakespeare's Sonnets -
and the rest of HerStory has been erased by History. Morgan has
taken what we know of Bassano, and her poetry, to create this
lively, witty play.
I'm doing this for her because this was my sister's dream. This
isn't my natural habitat. I wouldn't normally choose this. But she
would have. Two sisters. One dream. The hardest open-water swim in
the world. This triumphant play from Olivier Award-winning writer
Morgan Lloyd Malcolm moves forwards and backwards in time across
the 21 miles between Dover and Calais as a young swimmer harnesses
her mind and body to make the crossing. Tackling what it means to
grieve, both physically and mentally, When The Long Trick's Over
encapsulates the fact that love persists whatever the distance and
however perilous the journey is to the other side. And that,
sometimes, it means swimming against the tide and against the
things that hold you back: the old memories and oil tankers, jelly
fish and Jelly Babies. This edition was published to coincide with
the world premiere production by HighTide and the New Wolsey
Theatre, February 2022.
A twisting two-hander, a psychological thriller from the acclaimed
author of Belongings. Heather and Carla haven't seen each other
since school. Their lives have taken very different paths - Carla
lives a hand-to-mouth existence while Heather has a high-flying
career, husband and a beautiful home. And yet, here they are in a
cafe having tea and making awkward conversation. That is until
Heather presents Carla with a bag containing a significant amount
of cash and an unexpected proposition... Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's
electric new thriller asks how far beyond the playground we carry
our childhood experiences and to what lengths some people are
willing to go to in order to come to terms with them.
'Just because you appear to have secrets don't mean your secrets
are all that interestin'.' A young female soldier returns from
Afghanistan to a home she no longer recognises or connects with.
She has proved herself in combat but her hardest battle is yet to
come, as she navigates family politics, old relationships, and the
memory of betrayal. From the deserts of a modern war to the
battleground of a family kitchen, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's explosive
new play delves into one woman's quest for identity and a place she
can call home. Nominated for Charles Wintour Most Promising
Playwright Award (Evening Standard Awards)
