Jez Butterworth Plays: One

Description of book

Four full-length plays and two previously unpublished shorts from the multi-award-winning author of

Jerusalem.

Jez Butterworth burst onto the theatre scene aged twenty-five with

Mojo, 'one of the most dazzling Royal Court main stage debuts in years' (

Time Out). This first volume of his Collected Plays contains that play plus the three that followed, as well as two short one-person pieces published here for the first time - everything in fact that precedes

Jerusalem, 'unarguably one of the best dramas of the twenty-first century' (

Guardian).

Plays One includes:

Mojo,

The Night Heron,

The Winterling,

Leavings (previously unpublished),

Parlour Song and

The Naked Eye (previously unpublished).

Introducing the plays is an interview with Jez Butterworth specially conducted for this volume.

'The verbal menace of Harold Pinter [combined with] the physical violence of Quentin Tarantino'
