Synopsis
Penhall Plays 1 - Some Voices & Pale Horse & Love and Understanding & The Bullet
Published by Methuen
Some Voices: 'The most thrilling playwriting debut in years. . . The writing is razor-sharp, sensitive, quietly eloquent, full of the touchingly drab poetry of lost lives' ~ Sunday Times
Pale Horse: 'His second Court play is as compelling and extraordinary as his first . . . as taut, tight and atmospheric as Macbeth' ~ Observer
Love and Understanding: 'This is one of the best plays I've seen, ever, at this powerhouse of new writing . . . tough, eloquent, bruising' ~ Sunday Times
The Bullet: 'A Death of a Salesman for Britain in the nineties, and it is typical of Penhall's grace as a writer that it consciously echoes Arthur Miller while also emerging as an entirely distinctive work' ~ Daily Telegraph
