About this book

'Playwright David Ireland challenges people to draw lines between what they find funny and what they find outrageous' (Sydney Morning Herald) This first collection of plays by David Ireland brings together three of his most successful hits that have enjoyed numerous productions around the world alongside two previously unpublished plays: Half a Glass of Water: ' The dialogue is brutal and tender, horrific and humorous... this is a tough, challenging work, undercut by Ireland's trademark black humour, which asks questions of what a successful post-conflict society looks like.' ( Independent ) The End of Hope: ' A freewheeling, majestically entertaining, all-too-brief hour that touches on everything from religion and identity to body dysmorphia' ( Times ) Cyprus Avenue: ' The most shocking play on the London stage... a blackly comic examination of sectarian hatred – and a subversive drama that has never been more relevant' ( Guardian ) Ulster American: ' What a brave, savage writer David Ireland is! There are moments in this play that are so shockingly provocative, so laugh-out-loud funny while simultaneously curl-into-a-ball-and cringe-worrying that I found my mouth was actually open. He can't go there, I thought. And then he did.' ( WhatsOnStage ) Sadie: ' A fascinating account of one woman, her troubles and the Troubles.' ( Irish News ) David Ireland was Playwright-in-Residence at the Lyric Theatre Belfast 2011-12. He won the Stewart Parker Award and the Meyer-Whitworth Award in 2012 and was shortlisted for the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright 2016. He won the James Tait Black Prize Award for Cyprus Avenue.
