In the 1990s playwright Anthony Neilson garnered a reputation for hard-hitting, morally disturbing plays that saw him labelled as one of the 'In Yer Face' dramatists who emerged from that decade.

This second volume of plays showcases the comic, surreal and gloriously off-kilter side of his more recent work. Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness (Theatre Royal, Plymouth, 2002) mixes Victorian melodrama with a catalogue of grotesque comic tales; The Lying Kind (Royal Court, 2002), a black farce set at Christmas involving two hapless policeman who must...

A brand new comedy by the writer of the hit play Stitching, published to tie in with the Royal Court's Christmas production from November 2002

Constables Blunt and Gobbel have one last duty to fulfil before they can finish their Christmas eve shift; telling the old couple at No. 58 some terrible news.

Realism is an exquisite, surreal trip inside the mind of one man that delighted audiences at the Edinburgh International Festival in 2006.

It was described by the Guardian as a "bold and utterly distinctive...

"This is a profound and tragic vision of humanity at its bare, forked basics"--Patrick Marmion, Evening Standard

The Censor is "a gripping brief encounter between a pornographic film actress and the man with the licensing scissors. A moving parable of the critic and artist as a healing and finally tragic, love story."--Michael Coveney, Daily Mail
