''A powerful, quirky, funny and virtually Euripidean domestic comedy that surprises as much as it delights'' (Times).

The Sex Comedies are six short, sleazy sketches about sexual anticipation in which the characters are left gagging with expectation or comically foiled.

''His plays are original, inventive and joyful...

Iain Heggie creates fantastic idiomatic'' speeches (Times)'
