born bad - tucker green has mastered the art of subtext; this is a play where people talk to each other - but that does not stop it being absolutely thrilling
dirty butterfly - tucker green has such an incredible control over rhythm and character, this play felt so alive, even though there were few descriptions I could see it all
generations - this play has one conversation, which is repeated again and again, and yet still remains interesting and packs a punch at the end
stoning mary - (reread) - I remember struggling to read this the first time round, but this time was very rewarding, knowing what was coming, and already having a bit of a grasp of the characters and story.
trade - oh to be able to write dialogue like tucker green. this one was a fair bit lighter in tone than lots of the others, but still equally interesting and thought.
random - (reread) - probably the saddest play I've ever read but in the best way possible.

These plays by [a:debbie tucker green|385891|debbie tucker green|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png] were ahead of their time when they were initially performed. The slow-burn narratives, imperfect characters and the diverse cast across the entirety of this collection makes this stand out (and rightfully so).
However, despite saying this, I didn't always understand what was happening and took me a while to get to grips with the scene. But this is still a collection of plays I will recommend, regardless!
read for a university year one, semester one + two creative writing class.
