Williams Plays

'[Williams's] plays have brought the experience of black urban youth onto the stage' <i>Observer</i><br/><br/><i>Sucker Punch</i>: 'As usual with Williams the dialogue is crisp and bespoke: motives are mixed nobody is a hero nothing is just black and white.' <i>The Times</i><br/><i><br/>Joe Guy</i>: 'Williams's dialogue ricochets around the stage like gunfire . . . energetic exciting and entertaining.' <i>Stage</i><br/><br/><i>Category B</i>: 'Category B is a harrowing play but one shot through with both dark humour and tentative flickers of hope'.<i> Daily Telegraph</i><br/><br/><i>Baby Girl</i>: 'The shocking thing about Roy Williams's<i> Baby Girl</i> is that it argues that there is a cyclical pattern to teenage pregnancy . . . Williams paints a rivetingly plausible picture of a world in which mothers and daughters are sexual rivals 'virgin' is the ultimate peer insult and the school gates are a fertile hunting ground for male predators.' <i>Guardian<br/><br/>There's Only One Wayne Matthews</i>: 'Williams's writing is punchy . . . Wayne's gradual understanding of the realities of the world make this a touching coming-of-age drama.' <i>Guardian</i>
