Owen McCafferty: Plays 2

Absence of Women
'A fine example of theatre at its small-scale best.' Evening Standard

Titanic
'Owen McCafferty's rigorous verbatim play provides an antidote to Titanic fatigue. . . Two months of hearings from 97 witnesses are whittled down to nine. . . What remains, even after a century, is a disturbing sense of moral ambiguity: 1, 517 dead and no one to blame.' Guardian

Quietly
'Vibrates with a violent tension so taut that if you were a bystander. . . you'd hardly dare to breathe.' New York Times

'Remarkable. inspired. The piece packs sweeping questions about forgiveness and accountability into a tightly plotted encounter.' Daily Telegraph

'The most powerful theatrical production I have had the privilege of seeing. . . McCafferty's script is perfectly taut. . . This play is extraordinary and completely unmissable.' Metro Herald

Unfaithful
'McCafferty excels with tight plotting and pithy, painful dialogue.' The Times

'McCafferty writes with empathy and a wry humour that makes for an absorbing - if painful - hour.' Financial Times

'Owen McCafferty is a sly observer of the human heart.' Guardian

Death of a Comedian
'Despite the humour, McCafferty's play is a tragedy. his most accomplished work to date.' Belfast Telegraph
