Mark Ravenhill has established himself as one of the most important
playwrights to emerge from the 1990s. Provocative, dark, witty and
satirical, his plays consistently probe the debased culture of our
times. This second volume of plays brings together five plays from
2001-07. It includes Mother Clap's Molly House, a black comedy and
celebration of human sexuality that premiered at the National Theatre
in 2001; Citizenship, a bitter-sweet comedy about growing up that was
developed by the National Theatre's Shell Connections programme in
2005; The Cut, a disturbing political fable that opened at the Donmar
Warehouse in 2006; Product, Ravenhill's one man satire on the media
industry that since its premiere at the Edinburgh International
Festival in 2005, has been produced around the world, and Pool (no
water), a shocking examination of the fragility of friendship and the
jealousy and resentment inspired by success. The volume features an
introduction by the author and a chronology of his work.
