'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

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking, Dark and Humourous - I LOVE IT!, 28 Aug 2001

By A Customer

It is fantastic to have all of these plays in one book. Each one is a gem, a dark gem at that. It catalogues Ravenhill's controversial debut with Shopping and F***ing - a tale of drugs, consumerism, scepticism and love in a disposable world. Very refreshing and witty. Handbag examines the role of parenting in this age of diverse sexualities, with everything from biological engineering to sperm banks - nothing is left untouched. Again, darkly humourous with searing wit. Faust puts the famous philosopher in the modern day - he arrives in Los Angeles as a major celebrity and appears on a number of chat shows, a very intelligent juxtopposition of time, just see what happens when Faust is introduced to virtual reality - what a philosophical can of worms. Over all, this is a fantastic collection of very witty, dark, humourous and intellectual plays. Each page should have the word 'genius' stamped on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mark Ravenhill Plays 1, 13 Jan 2009

By	Nicola A. Coulter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like shocking and witty Theatre, this is a fantastic collection of some 'In Yer Face' Plays. I am currently studying Performing Arts and I found this collection a challenging and enjoyable read. 'In-Yer-Face Theatre' by Alex Sierz is also a good read for students as it analyses and makes reference to a few of the plays in the Book.
