more evident - a searing, intelligent, disturbing sociologist with a
talent for satirical dialogue and a flair for sexual
sensationalism" (Financial Times) Mark Ravenhill is one of the
most distinctive contemporary UK playwrights. He burst on to the theatre
scene in 1996 with the huge hit Shopping and Fucking. He has continued
