Martin Crimp was born in 1956 and began writing for the theatre in the 1980s. Attempts on her Life, written in 1997, established his international reputation, and the plays that followed – among them, The Country, Cruel and Tender (written for director Luc Bondy), The City and In the Republic of Happiness – have been seen by audiences across the world.<p>'A sharp satire... what is striking is how, after nearly a quarter of a century, Crimp's play has acquired new potency'</p>
Guardian
<p>'Disarmingly prescient… Crimp's dialogue has elliptical poetic snap and a canny ear'</p>
Independent
<p>'Troubling, intoxicating and thoroughly entertaining'</p>
The Times
<p>'Both sharply funny and profoundly disturbing… it shimmers with dark brilliance, and insight'</p>
WhatsOnStage
<p>'Darkly entertaining… has a mordant wit, its darker energies underpinned by a strangely screwball quality'</p>
Time Out
<p>'With its echoes of Pinter, this play is a brilliantly written, metaphor-rich, depiction of perversion and desire'</p>
The Arts Desk
<p>'With hauntingly accurate observations of society and a writing style so instinctive and shrewd, it is one of the most ingeniously coined pieces of theatre I have ever seen'</p>
