Synopsis

The first collection of plays by one of Britain's leading writers Pax: 'Pioneering writing which unlocks the colours of the imagination and subverts the structure, style and content of our new drama' City Limits; Clam: 'A budding genius' City Limits; The B File: 'An ironic, funny, lonely and challenging survey into the loss of cultural identity among young adult females in post modernist Europe' (Guardian); Pushing the Prince into Denmark is a surreal duet in a snowstorm between an angry Ophelia and a wilfully ignorant Gertrude.; Honey, Baby: 'Levy understands the underbelly, the wild, strange and the emotional' Melbourne Age; Macbeth - False Memories: 'It has a spine tingling force' (Independent)Deborah Levy does not deal with realism, she does not deal with magic realism, rather she draws out a new territory, and if we follow we will find ourselves suspended over views we have not seen before Jeanette Winterson, Observer
