the finest playwright to have emerged in the 1990s" (Alistair Macaulay,
Financial Times)
Nagy's
latest play is a blend of chilling humour and surrealism,
interconnected issues of sex, truth, sincerity, psychology and mystery.
"Whereas
much contemporary playwriting is egregious, anorexic, short-winded and
uncluttered, Nagy writes sinuously and elegantly, working towards a
theatrical coalescence of plot, dialogue and swiftly changing scenic
representation that is as exciting as it is unusual" (Michael Coveney)
