Synopsis
'Look - they're fading. Those liars. Dissolving . . . It's the end of their world . . . The birth of a new one . . . Our one . . . Our world.'
It's Mother's Day and mother is dead. Now her two sons gather in her home to argue about the truth of their childhood. But a storm is approaching . . . with a violent new truth all of its own.
Piranha Heights is non-stop, filthily poetic and a searing insight into the disenchantment of young people today.
This edition, featuring a revised script, published to coincide with play's revival at the Old Red Lion, London, in November 2014.
Praise for Leaves of Glass: 'Like a shard of glass plunged straight to the heart . . . superb.' Guardian

About the Author
Philip Ridley is a contemporary artist, poet, novelist, film-maker and one of the country's most celebrated living playwrights. Ridley has been described as 'probably a genius' (Time Out), 'a visionary' (Rolling Stone), 'the master of modern myth' (Guardian) and 'the best British playwright of the last 20 years' (Aleks Sierz, author of In-Yer-Face Theatre).
Review
The play has a raw, brutal poetry to it . . . a stark work by a distinct, unsettling voice. * Time Out London *
