Few playwrights can be identified from a single line of dialogue, and Debbie Tucker Green is one of them. This collection of her first six plays, along with a short introduction by the author, showcases a dramatic artist in complete control of her craft.

Born Bad (Hampstead Theatre, 2003; winner of the Olivier Award for Best Newcomer) plunges headlong into the heart of a conflicted family, unleashing wit, ferocity, and verbal dexterity on the way. One of the most assured and extraordinary new voices we've heard in a long while. Electrifying. Independent on Sunday.

Dirty Butterfly (Soho Theatre, 2003) is a mesmerising study of voyeurism, power, and guilt. There is a sly, controlled power in this writing… And now I cannot get it out of my head. Guardian.

Generations (National Theatre Platform performance, 2005; Young Vic, 2007) follows three generations of a Black South African family, comparing cooking skills—but food isn't the only topic, and the family numbers are declining. Devastating… will last you a lifetime. Guardian.

Stoning Mary (Royal Court Theatre, 2005) confronts the reality of global conflicts, transposing them to the West. The words fly around the theatre, piercing the dark like gleaming shards of shrapnel. The Stage.

Trade (Royal Shakespeare Company, 2005) shines a light on the world of female sex tourism. Poetry laced with shards of broken glass. Guardian.

Random (Royal Court Theatre, 2008) is set over one day, following one family and the effects of one random act of violence. The writing seems to penetrate the very heart of grief. Telegraph.

Debbie Tucker Green uses language as deftly as a composer might use notes. Financial Times
