The Story

In her first collection of plays, Olivier award-winning playwright and screenwriter Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's talent for writing complex female characters is on dazzling display.

Belongings (2011): "Malcolm's writing is sharp and witty but also very powerful in places. Her use of humour can be shocking but it helps to balance out the weighty issues being explored: guilt, gender and family politics, sex as both a commodity and a weapon. Touching, funny and brutal, this is – on many levels – an impressive first work." - Exeunt

The Wasp (2015): "Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's two-hander is sprung like a bear trap, a play with very sharp teeth." - The Stage

Mum (2021): "Lloyd Malcolm, who resurrected a 17th-century feminist poet for her riotous 2018 hit Emilia, here spills the dark side of modern maternity: exhausted anxiety, love-hate co-dependency, what happens when your very worst fears come true." - Evening Standard

When The Long Trick's Over (2022): "Grief can feel like drowning. And in Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's play about a swimmer with the challenge to cross the Channel, it is voluminous." - Guardian

The Passenger (2021): Originally commissioned and produced by Shakespeare's Globe, this piece recounts the experience of the author's childhood terrors. A shadowy figure who follows. Has it followed us here? How will she escape him? The Passenger was staged as a part of the first Terrifying Women showcase at the Golden Goose Theatre, London, in October 2021.
