Synopsis
Cartwright Plays 1 - Road & Bed & Two & The Rise and Fall of Little Voice
Published by Methuen
Road - "A surreal vision of the contemporary urban landscape...uncomfortable and magical, funny and bitter. It is a northern Under Milk Wood, high on pills and booze" - Sunday Times
Bed - "Cartwright writes better about old people than anyone I know, except perhaps Beckett. This is an odd, harrowing and hilarious piece, entirely without sentimentality, sturdy but moving" - John Peter, Sunday Times
Two - "A sharp, salty quickfire evocation of the surface gaiety and underlying melancholia of English pub life" - Michael Billington, The Guardian
The Rise and Fall of Little Voice - "A northern showbiz fairytale, a backstreet Cinderella story, with a built-in kick" - Guardian
