Synopsis

Each play I see by Phyllis Nagy confirms me in the belief that she is
the finest playwright to have emerged in the 1990s" (Alistair Macaulay,
Financial Times)

Weldon
Rising: Downtown New York. The temperature is soaring. In the
meat-packing district, Natty Weldon's lover is casually butchered by a
homicidal homophobe. The witnesses do not intervene. Natty flees in
terror, two lesbians watch from their apartment window and a flamboyant
transvestite prostitute cowers in the street below. But life changes
for them after the murder.

Disappeared: Sarah Casey, a travel
agent who has never been anywhere, meets the mysterious Elston Rupp in
a bar in New York's Hell's Kitchen. They walk out together and she is
never seen again. Was she murdered, has she escaped from the city of
loners, or has she simply vanished?

Nagy is "the laconic laureate of this spiritual wasteland" (Paul Taylor, Independent)
