Jez Butterworth Plays: One
Description of book
Four full-length plays and two previously unpublished shorts from the multi-award-winning author of
Jerusalem.
Jez Butterworth burst onto the theatre scene aged twenty-five with
Mojo, 'one of the most dazzling Royal Court main stage debuts in years' (
Time Out). This first volume of his Collected Plays contains that play plus the three that followed, as well as two short one-person pieces published here for the first time - everything in fact that precedes
Jerusalem, 'unarguably one of the best dramas of the twenty-first century' (
Guardian).
Plays One includes:
Mojo,
The Night Heron,
The Winterling,
Leavings (previously unpublished),
Parlour Song and
The Naked Eye (previously unpublished).
Introducing the plays is an interview with Jez Butterworth specially conducted for this volume.
