trust.

play, MADE OF STONE, produced in the Royal Court Young Writers'
Festival 2000, was praised for its "rock-hard characterisation with
buzzing dialogue" (Evening Standard).

There's a lot of authenticity to Butler's dialogue and this and Made of Stone are my favourites by him. They are very bleak but I don't think there's many people able to do justice to social realism in Northern dialect as well as him. Sort of reminds me of Simon Stephens' early work.
