Upton Plays: 1

Synopsis

1 (Methuen Contemporary Dramatists)

"Judy Upton's a playful writer who likes nothing better than to upset expectations" Independent

Ashes and Sand: "Searing, brutal...Judy Upton's vicious little hand grenade of a play explodes onto the stage...her writing blazes with anger about the waste of a generation with no hopes" Independent

"Sunspots confirms Upton as one of the most promising writers working in London at present" What's On

People on the River: "A skilfully written and entertainingly hard-nosed look at the victim culture of tabloid telly" Time Out

Stealing Souls: "The writing is diamond hard, slippery and clear like thin ice covering a particularly murky pond" Guardian

Know Your Rights: "A moving and accomplished piece...Upton's play can dispense with arguments and right-on statements because in creating characters she develops situation."
