True and funny as well. Paul Ferris, The Observer A neat, beautifully written, serious comedy about translation, exile and betrayal-one of the very best on Radio 3 last year. Nigel Andrews, The Listener A rare sort of treat...a very funny play, delicate in its touches, but sharp as a needle. Gillian Reynolds, The Daily TelegraphEATING WORDS Giles Cooper Award winner Totally enthralling... Richard Nelson is God's gift (or at least America's) to English radio drama. Nigel Andrews, The Listener A thoroughly absorbing account of two writers on a drunken tour of London. Plays and Players ADVICE TO EASTERN EUROPE A masterly short play-a post-Cold War romance that is witty and] technically bold-examines how one woman's Utopia may be another person's capitalist nightmare.
