Tom Morton-Smith is an Olivier Award-winning playwright whose works
for the stage span intimate theatrical biopics to scientific
explorations and broad epics. In this, his first play collection, his
major stage works are brought together for the first time in a
definitive edition showcasing his extensive range as a dramatist, and
introduced by the author himself.
_
_IN DOGGERLAND_: “Morton-Smith's script is both poetic and
philosophical, a thoughtful meditation on the impact of loss . . . a
touching and funny play that explores the lives of four people brought
together by tragedy and hope." (WhatsonStage)_
_
_OPPENHEIMER: _“A blast from start to finish . . . Tom
Morton-Smith's epic new play . . . ambitious in the very best way . .
. it really delivers its payload in its final phase, as _Oppenheimer_
finally rejects his humanity in favour of doing something truly
inhuman to the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki." (Time Out)_
_
_THE EARTHWORKS:_ "This small, often funny play focusing on two
fragile people rubbing up against each other at a moment of change has
its own quiet heroism. What appears to be a romantic comedy turns into
something more unsettling ... raising questions about the limits of
knowledge and our capacity to face up to the future." (Guardian)_
_
_RAVENS:_ "An elegant study of pressure and paranoia . . . Recounting
the gruelling, 21-game clash, _Ravens: Spassky vs Fischer_ is a taut
and cerebral character study." (The Stage)_
