The Night Season
'The Night Season is unusual; no politics, no issues, no
history - just a bold attempt to grapple with the messy nature of
living. It's also delightfully, rudely funny.' Financial Times
'Look out for the name Rebecca Lenkiewicz. It's once in a blue
moon that a writer gets her second-ever play staged at the National.
It's even more remarkable when you wander away at the end, walking
on air.... Lenkiewicz is quite extraordinarily talented.'
Independent on Sunday
Shoreditch Madonna
'A strong absorbing work, full of passion, pathos and sly humour,
set in the hip art scene of London's East End... There is a rare
combination of pain, wit and originality in Lenkiewicz's writing.'
Daily Telegraph
Her Naked Skin
'It is shocking to think that this is the first full-length work
by a woman to be seen on the Olivier stage. But Lenkiewicz makes up
for lost time by exploring the hunger for political and personal
emancipation that fuelled the suffragette movement in 1913... Her
play colonises this daunting space with bravura confidence.. Her
power lies in her ability to recapture the triumphs and tribulations
of a history movement... Lenkiewicz's play plants a defiant feminist
flag on the Olivier stage.' Guardian
'This is a big play with a big heart and I recommend it with a
matching warmth. Lenkiewicz is making history here and, in so doing,
demonstrating that she's got a great future.' Daily Telegraph
The Painter
'An intimate portrait of Turner... Understated and quietly
superb.' Independent on Sunday
