Description
A collection of screen and radio plays including: Cigarettes and Chocolate "one of the best radio plays I ever heard...profoundly original" (Financial Times); Hang Up "an intense and brilliantly realised study of a love affair" (Telegraph); What If It's Raining? "a tender, sensitive play while also being the most no-bones-about-it account of adultery I have seen on TV" (Guardian); Truly, Madly, Deeply (which starred Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman) - "This lovely, original comedy...is the work of a mature artist, one with the skill to draw us into a fresh and startlingly humane vision of urban life." (The New York Times)
