and winner of the 2001 "Most Promising Playwright" Evening Standard
Theatre Award THE NO BOYS CRICKET CLUB (1996): Living alone on a drab
London council estate, Abi has long since lost sight of the good
things in life, until an old friend takes her back to her glorious

Club. STARSTRUCK (1997): is a hilarious and moving snapshot of the
hopes and broken dreams of a family in the Caribbean at a time when
Hollywood heart-throb Stewart Granger lands in Kingston to shoot his
latest movie. It was the winner of the John Whiting Award and the
Alfred Fagon award (1997). LIFT OFF (1999): When old time school
friends Mal and Tone begin to break their lifelong friendship, bitter
prejudices are brought to the fore. Joint-winner of the George Devine

burst with life, emotion and contradiction" Guardian "Williams, a
young, prolific and successful black British writer...certainly has a
gift" Sunday Times "Roy Williams shows himself to be a sassy,
sophisticated diviner of the human heart" Evening Standard
