Alexi Kaye Campbell, Plays: One

Alexi Kaye Campbell

The premiere of The Pride at the Royal Court Theatre in 2008 marked the emergence of Alexi Kaye Campbell as a distinctive new talent. With its bold and ingenious structure and its daring take on sexual politics in the 1950s and today, the play combined thrilling dramaturgy with profound insight into the affairs of the human heart. It went on to win an Olivier Award, the Critics' Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright, and the John Whiting Award for Best New Play, and was revived in the West End in 2013.

The four other plays in this book include:

Apologia, a perceptive look at what has happened to 1960s idealists and their children.

The Faith Machine, an exploration of the relationship between faith and capitalism that asks fundamental questions about the true meaning of love.

Bracken Moor, a haunting tale of grief and denial, set against the economic crisis of the 1930s.

Sunset at the Villa Thalia, a passionate and deeply personal play about the impact of foreign influence, planned and unintentional, on a nation and its people.
