NEVILLE'S ISLAND

THE STORY:

"LIKE a comedy version of Deliverance, Tim Firth's play takes a quartet of tender footed urban dwellers and strands them in a hostile environment to shift for themselves. Here, however, the greatest threat to their survival is their collective ineptitude and disintegrating personalities...Firth's triumph is to reveal the essential sadness beneath the comic surface of these four absurd creatures, subtly paving the way to a denouement that is half mystical and half appalling but entirely logical.” ~The Daily Express – Neil Norman
