Smelling A Rat
Mike Leigh


A comedy of low-life manners from the man whose "strength is his satirical observation of English tribal customs."--Guardian (UK)
"The freshest, funniest, most invigorating theater I've seen in ages."
— N.Y. Daily News
"Through a wealth of casually dispensed personal detail and naturalistic ensemble acting of astonishing intensity and nuance, Ecstasy cheerily bares the soul of a society on a precipice.... Its compassion for its characters goes to the bone."
— N.Y. Times
"Unconventional and hard edged, [ Ecstasy] casts a spell suggesting a sense of spying on reality, of casually eavesdropping on life.... A rewarding play."
— N.Y. Post
