Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays.

If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian
