The first volume of collected plays from acclaimed dramatist David Lan Painting a Wall: 'an essential theatrical image of the human condition' - Plays and Players Red Earth: 'Mature skill...in the course of a lunchtime, 70 years of South African history are played out with power and poignancy' - The Times Flight: 'a play that gives you faith in new writing' - City Limits Desire: 'a ballad and an act of faith' - Sunday Times The Ends of the Earth: 'The work of a genuine theatrical poet ...we should be so lucky to have ambitious, hypnotic writing in our theatre' - Observer 'These plays are unique in contemporary theatre; wonderful immersions into foreign worlds that touch our own' (John Lahr)
Painting a Wall: 'Lan's short political allegory...is a series of lulls and eruptions reflecting both the rhythms of work and the patterns of acceptance, anger and fuck-it-all humour experienced by anyone struggling to survive under an unjust system.' Bella Todd, Time Out London, 21.5.09
