Bøker av Laura (Author) Wade

The new dark comedy about gender roles from Laura Wade, best-selling author of Posh and The Riot Club.

A darkly electrifying collection from a unique dramatic voice, this volume marks the emergence of a distinctive British new writing talent.

A new play by Laura Wade adapted from the unfinished novel by Jane Austen. This sparklingly witty play looks under the bonnet and asks: what can characters do when their author abandons them?

The second collection of work by Olivier award-winning British playwright Laura Wade, bursting with her trademark satirical humour and her sharp, witty insight into gender and privilege. Posh (2010): the cult sensation which propelled Laura Wade onto the national stage and inspired the film The Riot Club (2014). Based on Oxford's real-life Bullingdon Club, the play unfolds during an evening of debauchery in an all-male elite student dining society. Kreutzer vs. Kreutzer (2010): a play for voices to be performed with an orchestra, re-imagining Tolstoy's The Kreutzer Sonata as an intimate two-hander. Home, I'm Darling (2018): a dark comedy about marriage and relationships, following one woman in the quest to be the perfect 1950s housewife. Winner of the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. The Watsons (2018): a sparkingly funny new take on the unfinished Jane Austen novel, catapulting the characters into a contemporary context whilst dealing with questions of authorship and writer's block.
