Review:
A historical novelist of rare talent. . . . A spare and disquieting tale that, like a morality play itself, urges us to question the allure of Murder One, Prime Suspect 3, and our most recent trial of the century. --Linda Simon"
In Morality Play, [Unsworth] has created an entertaining, thought-provoking work of remarkable scope and detail. --Rick Quackenbush"
Morality Play is a bravura performance. . . . The novel is a thought-provoking comedy on the eternal sameness of disaster and the recurrent uses we put it to in art. On the way we toy with morality and also play our way to the truth. --Janet Burroway
Morality Play is a book of subtlety, compassion, and skill, and it confirms Barry Unsworth's position as a master craftsman of contemporary British fiction. --Charles Nicholl
The entire novel is brilliantly imagined. . . . It is a dramatic meditation on the relationship between life and play.--Brian Finney
A gem. . . . Morality Play resonates with meaning for our own time.--Dan Cryer
A perfect novel. . . . This book dazzles on every level. Its lyrically surprising, unforgettably credible, darkly challenging. You succumb happily on page one and stay in thrall right up to the quick, bruising end.--Julie Myerson
