About this book

Lucy Prebble is one of Britain's foremost writers for the stage and screen. This eagerly anticipated play collection brings together her landmark plays for the first time, showcasing her work from 2003 to 2019. Beginning with her George Devine Award-winning play The Sugar Syndrome it continues through her explosive look at the biggest financial scandal in history, concluding with her pointed dramatization of the one of the most shocking news stories of the 2010s.

The Sugar Syndrome (2003) Dani is on a mission. She's just 17, hates her parents, skives college and prefers life in the chatrooms. What she's looking for is someone honest and direct. Instead she finds Tim, a man twice her age, who thinks she is 11 and a boy. What seems at first to be a case of crossed wires, ends up as an unlikely, and unsettling friendship between the two, which culminates in a shocking, and morally challenging revelation.

Enron (2009) One of the most infamous scandals in financial history became a theatrical epic in Enron, a dazzling exposition of the shadowy mechanisms of economic deceit. Mixing classical tragedy with savage comedy and surreal metaphor, Enron follows a group of flawed men and women in a narrative of greed and loss which reviews the tumultuous 1990s, and the financial chaos which has spilled over into the new century.

The Effect (2012) a clinical romance. Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial. Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved.

A Very Expensive Poison (2019) A shocking assassination in the heart of London. In a bizarre mix of high-stakes global politics and radioactive villainy, a man pays with his life. At this time of global crises and a looming new Cold War, A Very Expensive Poison sends us careering through the shadowy world of international espionage from Moscow to Mayfair.

Tim
She’s 
not 
here.
Lewis
Can 
you 
let 
me 
in, 
mate? 
I 
want 
a 
word.
No 
answer.
Lewis
(
off
) 
I 
can 
stay 
here 
all 
night.
Tim
Fine. 
Hang 
on, 
mate.
Tim
opens 
the 
door 
to
Lewis
, 
holding 
the 
bat 
as 
nonchalantly 
as 
possible.
Lewis
is 
taken 
aback 
by 
the 
size 
of 
him 
and 
the 
bat.
Lewis
There’s 
no 
need 
for 
that.
Tim
I’m 
sorry. 
Bad 
area, 
round 
here.
Lewis
Yeah, 
I 
saw.
Tim
Is 
Dani 
all 
right?
Lewis
You 
tell 
me.
Tim
I’m 
not 
sure 
what 
you 
mean.
Lewis
Look 
mate. 
I 
know 
all 
about 
you 
and 
unless 
you 
want 
your 
neighbours 
to 
know 
and 
all, 
I’d 
let 
me 
in.
Tim
There’s 
no 
need 
for 
that
.
Tim
ushers
Lewis
in.
Lewis
I’ve 
been 
up 
and 
down 
this 
block 
looking 
for 
you.
Tim
Oh 
yes?
Lewis
You 
must 
be 
the 
only 
person 
in 
this 
building 
without 
tattoos.
Tim
(
suspicious
) 
I’m 
not 
that 
easy 
to 
nd.
Lewis
(
looking 
round 
with 
distaste
) 
Dani 
said 
where 
they 
were 
making 
you 
stay.
Tim
That’s 
thoughtful 
of 
her. 
I’ve 
lived 
in 
better 
places.
Lewis
I’ve 
shat 
in 
better 
places.
Tim
Well, 
lucky 
old 
you. 
Is 
there 
something 
I 
can 
help 
you 
with?
