  David Edgar, like Balzac, seems to be the secretary for our times (Guardian) Nicholas Nickleby: With uncommon audacity Nicholas Nickleby not only takes on Dickens' sprawling novel, it fractures all the petty limitations we have imposed upon the stage as well...A landmark (New Statesman); In Entertaining Strangers, a community constructs a nativity play: English left-wing social drama at its sturdiest and finest: human, argumentative, utterly unafraid of human realities, and seething with indignation and compassion (Sunday Times) and Ecclesiastes, a radio play that looks at the rise and fall of a fundamentalist Christian clergyman in the US.
