Description
'Longman's dialogue flows like water: it's natural and fresh and ripples with energy.... packed with subtle movements that brim with bruised meaning.' (Time Out London)
The first play collection of award-winning British playwright Simon Longman, charting his work from stages around the UK, including a never before published play.
A recipient of the 49th George Devine Award for Most Promising Playwright, Longman is renowned for his evocative depictions of rural life, fractured communities, and young people navigating isolation, Longman writes with a striking blend of lyrical stillness and stark emotional clarity.
Milked: 'Wonderfully heartfelt, funny and unexpectedly moving... Milked has found what only the best black comedies have: the perfect balance between the laugh-out-loud moments and the quiet, touching ones.' (The Upcoming)
Sparks: 'Funny, dreamlike and achingly sad.' (The Stage)
Rails: 'Rails is an unashamedly hard hitting look at life for today's youth and their expectations for the future… Longman manages to pull something remarkable out of this deep-burning fire: hope.' (Great British Life)
Island Town: 'Longman is rapidly becoming the poet of the dispossessed… a triumph of empathy.' (WhatsOnStage)
White Sky: A play about loss, violence, and a collection of characters who are looking for a world beyond the pavement's shattered glass.
