Items related to Road (Modern Plays)
“Why's the world so tough? It's like walking through meat in high heels.”
A road, a wild night; a drunken guide, Scullery, conducts a tour of the derelict Lancashire road on which he lives. In this seminal play that gives expression to the road's poverty-stricken inhabitants, we are taken on a journey from the gutter to the stars and back.
This is published to coincide with the revival of Jim Cartwright's 1986 game-changing play to the Royal Court, London in June 2017.

Review:
Uncomfortable and magical, funny and bitter. It is a northern Under Milk Wood, high on pills and booze
Sunday Times
Road is indeed an original, affecting, rumbustious and truly remarkable piece of work
Financial Times
The writing [is] so immediate and entertaining too. As a first piece of work [it] is absolutely seminal.
