Piranha Heights (Modern Plays) - Softcover
Philip Ridley's latest play for Soho Theatre brings his unique blend of story-telling mixed with an apocalyptic vision of a society at conflict with itself to the stage.
'Look - they're fading. Those liars. Dissolving . . . It's the end of their world . . . The birth of a new one . . . Our one . . . Our world.'
It's Mother's Day and mother is dead. Now her two sons gather in her home to argue about the truth of their childhood. But a storm is approaching . . . with a violent new truth all of its own.
This programme playtext is published to tie in with the premiere at Soho Theatre, London, on 15 May 2008.
Praise for Leaves of Glass: 'Like a shard of glass plunged straight to the heart . . . superb.' Guardian

About the Author:
Philip Ridley was born in the East End of London where he still lives and works. As well as three books for adults - and the highly acclaimed screenplay for the The Krays feature film - he has written five other adult stage plays: The Pitchfork Disney, the multi-award-winning The Fastest Clock in the Universe, Ghost from a Perfect Place, Leaves of Glass, and the highly controversial Mercury Fur, plus a further five plays for young people; Karamazoo, Fairytaleheart, Moonfleece, Sparkleshark and Brokenville.
Review:
The play has a raw, brutal poetry to it . . . a stark work by a distinct, unsettling voice. * Time Out London *
