Two bold new dramas from the author of Shopping
& F***ing The CutPaul is an ordinary man with a
shocking secret. At home, he is a loving husband and
father. At work, he administers the cut. In a society
sickened by his profession, Paul struggles with his
conscience and longs to tell the truth. The Cut has its
world premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, on 23
February 2006, starring Ian McKellan.Product'I love your
work, I love it. I've seen you do those turns on a
sixpence...You're fabulous. And this material is going
to be fabulous once it's punched up.' Amy is a hot young
starlet. Now all she needs is the script which will save
her from B movie hell, a script which balances artistic
integrity with blockbuster bucks. Mark thinks he's got
the perfect pitch - a script which combines a torrid
love story with the dark spectre of terrorism and big,
big explosions. If he can only persuade Amy, he's got
the perfect Product. Mark Ravenhill starred in this
monologue piece when it premiered to critical acclaim at
the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in August 2005.'
Ravenhill has more to say, and says it more refreshingly
and wittily, than any other playwright of his
generation' Time Out'There are few stage authors writing
more interestingly than Mark Ravenhill ...He is -- it is
now yet more evident -- a searing, intelligent,
disturbing sociologist with a talent for satirical
dialogue and a flair for sexual sensationalism'
