Trade Review
A surreal vision of the contemporary urban landscape...uncomfortable and magical, funny and bitter. It is a northern Under Milk Wood, high on pills and booze. * Sunday Times *
Road is indeed an original, affecting, rumbustious and truly remarkable piece of work, let alone a superb first play * Financial Times *
the writing [is] so immediate and entertaining too. As a first piece of work it [is] absolutely seminal. * Guardian *
