Abstract

Fat Souls won the International Playwriting Festival and was produced to great critical success at the Warehouse Theatre, Croydon in 1993. Fat Souls tells the story of a social misfit and long-time jobseeker, Fat Mags, who finds dead-end employment doing routine dogsbody work in an office. In the workplace, she meets Lamb, a youth with a whole other way of looking at things, and his vision transforms her previously gloomy outlook on life. Volume includes a new introduction by the author.

Keywordsdrama, new writing, masks, verse drama, contemporary british drama, warehouse theatre, in-yer-face theatre
