Wade and regular collaborators including Tamara Harvey, Katherine Parkinson, Lyndsey Turner and Samuel West provide perspectives on her work, including the Olivier Award-winning Home, I'm Darling, Alice and The Watsons. Alongside this, teachers, lecturers and practitioners are given detailed resources to explore Wade's plays, including Posh and the early plays, Breathing Corpses, Colder than Here and Other Hands"-- Provided by publisher. |
