Tim Price is a political playwright who is known for writing plays that stand up for underdogs, tackle aversion to public emotion and feature seemingly unstageable scenes.
In his second collection of Plays, the work ranges from the story of the hero behind the NHS, to moving comedy about a skiing holiday, to a the tumultous story of two 'hacktivists'. The political and the personal are drawn together effectively throughout, offering a rich selection of work that showcase Price's unique talent.
