- Summary:
- A collection of six plays by one of the most distinctive playwrights working today.
- Born bad (Hampstead Theatre, 2003; winner of the Olivier Award for Best Newcomer) dives headlong into the heart of a conflicted family, unleashing wit, ferocity and verbal dexterity on the way.
- Dirty butterfly (Soho Theatre, 2003) is a mesmerising study of voyeurism, power and guilt.
- Generations (National Theatre Platform performance, 2005; Young Vic, 2007) follows three generations of a Black South African family comparing cooking skills - but food isn't the only topic and the family numbers are declining.
- Stoning Mary (Royal Court Theatre, 2005) confronts the reality of global conflicts, transposing them to the West.
- Trade (Royal Shakespeare Company, 2005) shines a light on the world of female sex tourism.
- Random (Royal Court Theatre, 2008) is set over one day, following one family and the effects of one random act of violence.
