Acclaimed British playwright Mark Ravenhill’s first autobiographical play which explores the way culture, high and low, had impacted both his mother’s and his family’s lives.
Mark Ravenhill is one of the most distinctive contemporary UK playwrights. He burst on to the theatre scene in 1996 with the huge hit Shopping and Fucking. He has continued to garner critical acclaim for plays that include Some Explicit Polaroids, Mother Clap's Molly House, Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, The Cut, Product, pool (no water), Citizenship, Ten Plagues, The Coronation of Poppea, Candide, Faust is Dead, Handbag, A Life in Three Acts, A Life of Galileo and Over There.
This is ultimately a story of hope and of being whatever you want
to be…Ravenhill's Angela constitutes a wonderful addition to this
writer's canon and offers astute insight into a condition about
which we still know so little.
*Broadway World*
a lovely piece of writing, subtle and delicate, full of unexpected
beats and quiet encounters.
*WhatsOnStage*
There are tender and moving moments here as well as violent ones;
there’s loving as well as fear
*Arts Desk*
Rather than showing us the effects of Angela’s dementia on himself
and his father, Ted, the playwright gives primacy to her inner
voice and confusions, building a rich subjectivity despite the
accompanying sadness.
*Guardian*
