Spoonface Steinberg, Lee Hall's extraordinary, award-winning play about faith, love and the meaning of life was first broadcast on Radio Four in 1997 to unprecedented acclaim
"It contains a good deal more truth than a thousand lectures on the nature of existence" ~ Guardian
Cooking with Elvis is an Ortonesque black comedy about the family of a famous Elvis impersonator who is now tied to a wheelchair
"Disgracefully entertaining" ~ Daily Telegraph
"So sharp it could cut itself as it piles on the humour" ~ Guardian
Bollocks! is inspired by Ernst Toller's masterpiece Hinkemann. Re-located to Northern Ireland it is an examination of the impotence of lives ruined by war
Also included here are six previously unpublished radio and stage plays that prove Hall's talent as a pre-eminent contemporary writer of black comedy
