Description: This is the first collection from groundbreaking playwright Alistair Mc Dowall "an exceptionally talented and fast - rising writer. Still only in his twenties this writer is surely going places. Whatever he dreams up next his name will almost certainly be in lights at the Royal Court soon if not at the National Theatre." (The Times) Having won a Judges Award at the Bruntwood Prize in 2011 and been shortlisted for the Writers Guild Best Play Award in 2013, Alistair Mc Dowall is one of the most exciting playwrights of this generation. The anthology features the play that brought Mc Dowall to people's attention Brilliant Adventures up to his latest major play Pomona that received ecstatic reviews transferred to the National Theatre and hailed him as one of the most important playwrights of this generation. It also includes two previously unpublished plays. Brilliant Adventures (Royal Exchange/ Live Theatre 2013) is a fast paced tale of brotherhood addiction and breaking the laws of physics. It won Mc Dowall a Bruntwood Prize. Captain Amazing (Live Theatre 2013) is a funny and poignant one - man show that thrusts us into the life of Britain's only part - time superhero. Talk Show (Royal Court 2013) is black comedy about talking and transmission. It was premiered as part of the Royal Court's Open Court season and has not previously been published. Pomona (Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama/ Orange Tree Theatre 2014) is a sinister and surreal thriller which takes as its setting Manchester's Pomona - an abandoned concrete island at the heard of the city; a place where journeys end and nightmares are born. The anthology is introduced by the author and includes a foreword by Olivier - award - winning playwright Simon Stephens.
