A Miracle is Molly Davies's first play and is being performed as part of the Royal Court Young Writers Programme. This aims to develop new voices with their bi-annual festival and year-round development work for writers under the age of 26.

Recenzii

'Molly Davies's writing shows real flair in its bony, Bond-like spareness and unnerving hints of violence... Her dialogue has that wry, laconic quality you often find in East Anglian plays.'
'Molly Davies's hugely promising debut play lasts just 75 minutes - but, oh man, it's a relief when it ends. Davies echoes the unflinching harshness of Edward Bond's play Saved while mapping out her own terrain in rural Norfolk. Her characters chafe against confining circumstances from which there is no easy escape. It's not pretty, it's not nice, but it is real and it is compelling... Another striking success from the Court's new writers season.'
'This is emphatically a drama that deserves and needs to be seen, not least by those politicians who endlessly bang on about our broken society.'
'Davies masters the difficult art of suggesting much with little. There is a constant threat of violence hovering around the play that never quite comes to a head... Her play is tense and compelling, but her spare, terse dialogue can also be unexpectedly funny.'
'Forget inner-city strife, just try rural Norfolk. In Molly Davies's aching, astringent first full-length play, it offers poverty, alienation and a 'flatness that consumes us'... Davies's writing throws up unexpected turns: hulking silences, then a line so jagged it might cut you.'
