Isley Lynn Plays 1: Lean; Skin A Cat; albatross; The Swell The first collection of plays from Olivier-nominated playwright Isley Lynn, whose award-winning work uplifts their deeply human characters through stories that are unexpected, radically intimate, and profoundly theatrical. Lean (2013): 'It's not just powerful but it's incandescent. There is a profound intensity... that truly keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Sensitively written... Exemplary theatre at its best.' The London StageSkin A Cat (2016): 'Frequently hilarious, its also refreshingly honest and open in its discussion of menstruation, masturbation, oral and anal sex, and might well be the smartest, sharpest piece about female sexual identity since Phoebe Waller Bridges Fleabag... this is bold and genuinely exciting new writing.' The Stagealbatross (2021): 'Every intimate, individual scene is engaging, as the full-bodied characters knock up against their own judgments and histories... Lynns scenes are full of genuine connections between characters, and the hope that comes with change.' GuardianThe Swell (2023): 'Isley Lynns characters are nuanced and beautifully drawn, and the plays dialogue is gorgeously natural and flowing. Where the playwright really excels though, is in bold and unexpected choices. The Swell takes its audience on some hugely gripping twists and turns. Lynn's writing is genuinely exciting.'
