'Martin Crimp is one of the hottest properties in Europe' GuardianThis second collection of Martin Crimp's work brings together four remarkable plays.Attempts on Her Life'Crimp writes with extraordinary precision. He has discovered a dramatic form that perfectly reflects the violent, disorienting times in which we live.' Daily TelegraphThe Misanthrope 'This is not just an updating of Molihre's great social tragicomedy but a thrillingly sophisticated modern version of a classical play The writing is cool, sharp and ferociously funny.' Sunday TimesNo One Sees the Video'Crimp's dialogue is spare, edgy, rigorously controlled and often very funny. But beneath the poised surface of the words, he creates a growing feeling of tension, even of menace, of lives of quiet but none the less profound desperation.'
