Road cover

In the course of one wild night, the drunken guide Scullery conducts a tour of Road, his derelict Lancashire street. This play was premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London in 1986 and has won the Samuel Beckett Award and the George Devine Award.

Road: "A surreal vision of the contemporary urban landscape...uncomfortable and magical, funny and bitter. It is a northern Under Milk Wood, high on pills and booze" (Sunday Times).

A surreal vision of the contemporary urban landscape...uncomfortable and magical, funny and bitter. It is a northern Under Milk Wood, high on pills and booze. * Sunday Times *
Road is indeed an original, affecting, rumbustious and truly remarkable piece of work, let alone a superb first play * Financial Times *
the writing [is] so immediate and entertaining too. As a first piece of work it [is] absolutely seminal. * Guardian *
