Paul Godfrey

Published by Methuen

Once in a While the Odd Thing Happens - "A fictional-biographical account of Benjamin Britten ... lyrical, poetic prose, sinuous, swift, eloquent and dramatic" -Sunday Times

Inventing a New Colour - "Godfrey's appealing first play is, with its ominous signs of disjunction, like a surrealist painting" - Guardian

A Bucket of Eels - "Danger gives Paul Godfrey's wonderful play its drama. Six young people enter a Freudian forest of their own imaginings" - Financial Times

The Blue Ball - an imaginative investigation of the experience of Space researched by the playwright among the astronauts themselves. This ambitious play questions the politics of a culture in which the wondrous is rendered mundane and what seems commonplace is rendered absurd

"An enquiry into the magic of space exploration ... a rather interesting, idiosyncratic and well written play" - Observer

The Blue Ball was commissioned by the Royal National Theatre Paul Godfrey is "so good, so nervy and alert with imagination and intelligence" (Sunday Times)
