Description
ALISTAIR MCDOWALL 'uses language with virtuosity. He folds it, unfolds it, dirties it, mishandles it, and in doing so, he celebrates it...It is as a poet that he uses writing to honour its promises: to excite the imagination, to stimulate play, to provoke staging and to elevate the theatre.' Le Monde
'McDowall's plays are portals to the extraordinary.' Guardian
X: 'McDowall masterfully plants ideas that grow until they explode into extraordinary shapes. Filthy humour breaks down into a cracked algorithm of letters and loss … a play that will gnaw away at you.'
The Stage
The Glow: 'A mind-bending, ambitious play, which attempts impossible things, demonstrating the power of theatre to bridge the gap between imagination and reality.'
Exeunt
all of it: 'Genius...an epic of inner life...McDowall brilliantly captures how febrile consciousness scribbles around our spoken half-truths.'
Guardian
Northleigh, 1940: 'Quietly devastating...[McDowall] is extraordinary at channelling his disturbing, poetic vision of the characters' hidden worlds.'
The Times
Zero for the Young Dudes! A play for youth groups commissioned by the National Theatre and performed around the country in 2017.
