Recenzii

'I directed his play Port at the Exchange, and I think it's one of the best things I've ever done. His writing is so detailed, so psychologically rich, so daring in terms of his emotion. He's not very English in that way.'
Stephens's tender, turbulent play follows the key stages of Rachel's life as she loses her adored grandfather, finds the love of her life, then gets married to someone else ... the Stockport-born Stephens presents the flip side of the rave culture ... Stephens has mapped the course of her life in seven succinct scenes and brought me to the brink of tears in six of them
The drama undoubtedly grips. As he showed in his equally harrowing Royal Court play Herons, Stephens is superb at capturing the cruelties of childhood and adolescence. But he is also blessed with compassion and a gift for dark humour ... The insecurities of childhood, tense family relationships, and the embarrassment, wonder and disappointment of young love are all caught with rare precision ... though the play is often deeply depressing, there is no mistaking its emotional truth or its moving glimmer of hope at the end.
A play that lifts the spirits and leaves you full of hope ... Stephen's rich portrait of the female capacity for endurance.
Stephens paints a world that is as tender as it is tough ... for all its insight into childhood dreams and adult reality, this is no oh-woe-is-me moan ... Simon Stephens puts social realism into poetic flight through the depth of his empathy and the skill of his construction. He's one of our most prolific writers. Port reminds us that, on song, he's one of our best.
Bleakly brilliant... as unbearably sad as it is beautiful
Sometimes lyrical, Stephens' language never loses its dark realism ... giving [Rachael] and other characters idiosyncratic wit and depth.
Simon Stephens - a dramatist who can put a wide vision into close focus... a sense of personal history lived from within ... Stephens creates vital, slippery, raw speech for his heroine ... Other dialogue has a deadpan, dead accurate understatement ... What could have been sentimental is stirring.
[A] slice of seedy social realism, leavened by humour and empathy for its resilient central character.
