The strength of debbie tucker green's writing is in her expression. This brilliant, young Black British writer has the knack of coming up with word pictures, a dramatic poetry that stays in your head long after the curtain has come down.
Mike Bartlett is writing exciting plays about families. His debut play My Child which opened at the Royal Court showed his talent for accurately observing the terrible language of family breakup. Now he follows it up with a tale about a girl and the clash of cultures in her heritage. It starts with the girl's story and ends with that of another girl from a different world. The whole is a political allegory.
Set in an amazingly transformed Royal Court Jerwood main auditorium is the first play for the stage by Mike Bartlett, My Child.
