Wilcox Plays 1 - Rents & Accounts & Lent & Massage

Rents: "A superb and touching comedy about the lives of two "rent" boys in Edinburgh" ~ Time Out

"What you would never guess about Rents in advance is that it is so funny. Here we are faced with a story about youthful prostitution (male), poverty and urban paranoia...And yet, there it is at the Lyric Studio, Hammersmith, rolling them in the aisles. Rents is a play which touches on all kinds of problems, but it is not by any means a problem play...A wholly enjoyable experience" ~ Plays and Players

Accounts: "Portrays the kind of world we rarely see on the British stage...Wilcox very skilfully counterpoints the struggle of a young widow and her two sons to make a go of their farm with the two boys' attempt to cope with their emotional problems" ~ Guardian

Lent: "A finely tuned, intricately woven and beautifully acted period piece about adolescence and old age that operates like a time capsule, divulging its treasures by slow degrees" ~ Time Out

Massage revolves around a massage boy, a bicycle builder and a journalist and "startles with its compassion for two bruised egos" ~ City Limits, and is "shot through with wry, extremely uncomfortable perceptions" ~ Financial Times
