Nagy Plays: 1 Summary

Nagy Plays: 1: Weldon Rising; Disappeared; The Strip; Butterfly Kiss by Phyllis Nagy

Young playwrights don't come much hotter than Phyllis Nagy (Daily Telegraph)Includes her three Royal Court -performed plays Weldon Rising Here is the best new play I have seen in many months...This play is exciting because it is well written, unusually constructed and morally serious. (Financial Times); in Butterfly Kiss Nagy captures the texture of a life and writes short, vivid, often disturbingly erotic scenes...it's a play that leaves me proclaiming Nagy a writer of real talent (Guardian), Disappeared (winner of the Mobil Prize,1995) A piece that gets right under your skin...There's no neat solution to Nagy's conundrum, just a fog of fear, despair, and most remarkably of all, a final mirage of escape. Spine-tingling stuff (Daily Telegraph) The Strip, kaleidoscopic and hugely accomplished dissection of fate, love and chance (Independent)Each play I see by Phyllis Nagy confirms me in the belief that she is the finest playwright to have emerged in the 1990s (Financial Times)
