Media Reviews
'[Morley] reminds us of a time when Coward plays such as The Vortex were considered cutting edge in their treatment of sexuality and drugs... Illustrated with some well-chosen photographs, Morley's Coward is quite as diverting as the finest work of the Master himself.' -- Barry Forshaw The Independent
