Publisher Description:

Ravenhill has more to say, and says it more refreshingly and wittily, than any other playwright of his generation Time Out
There are few stage authors writing more interestingly than Mark Ravenhill ... He is - it is now yet more evident - a searing, intelligent, disturbing sociologist with a talent for satirical dialogue and a flair for sexual sensationalism. - Financial Times
Shopping and Fucking: is a darkly humorous play for today's twenty-somethings ... a real coup de theatre - Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard
Faust: ...an intelligent and witty reappropriation of the legend ... alive, pertinent and disturbing - Michael Coveney, Observer
Handbag: ...combines urban grit with sly wit, and reveals Mark Ravenhill as a writer of real daring - Daily Telegraph
Some Explicit Polaroids: laudably ambitious, pulsates with energy ... very funny - Financial Times
