<p><br>Softcops renders the philosophy of Foucault as a music-hall turn and Victorian freakshow &quot;theatre and history combine to give such intelligent fun&quot; (TLS); Top Girls brings five great and less-than-great women from history together for a dinner party and &quot;has a combination of directness and complexity which keeps you both emotionally and intellectually alert&quot; (Sunday Times); Fen scrutinises the lives of the low-paid women potato pickers of the fens (in Eastern England) and &quot;the playwright pins down her poetic subject matter in dialogue of impressive vigour and economy&quot; (Financial Times) while Serious Money is a satirical study of the effects of the Big Bang - &quot;Pure genius...the first play about the city to capture the authentic atmosphere of the place.&quot; (Daily Telegraph)<p><br></p><br></p>
