Plays 1: Serving it Up / Summer Begins / Under the Blue Sky / M.A.D.

by David Eldridge

Four plays by the writer behind the West End smash-hit, Festen

Serving it Up: a "precociously perceptive debut play about East End loutishness." —Evening Standard

Summer Begins a story of the dreams and frustrations of working class young people living in Barking that "confirms Eldridge's impressive command of dialogue and character." —Evening Standard

Under the Blue Sky: "Like perfect blue skies, first-class new plays are few and far between, but when they appear they send your spirits soaring. Just such a heavenly piece of writing is the latest by David Eldridge." —Daily Telegraph

M.A.D.: a poignant and compelling family drama set in cold war Britain. "Beautifully written...a marvellous play. A "young dramatist with few peers when it comes to presenting deep emotion without a hint of fuss or staginess"—Daily Telegraph
