Book Description
I think I'd sleep a lot easier if I knew none of us would wake up tomorrow. Ollie's sister is missing. Searching Manchester in desperation, she finds all roads lead to Pomona - an abandoned concrete island at the heart of the city. Here at the centre of everything, journeys end and nightmares are born. A sinister and surreal thriller from Alistair McDowall, Pomona received its world premiere at the Orange Tree Theatre, London, on 12 November 2014.
Editorial Review
[A] bruising, brilliant play * Evening Standard * An exceptionally talented and fast-rising writer . . . While incorporating elements from gaming, mafia thrillers and sci-fi, McDowall's dialogue manages to be arrestingly idiosyncratic and unpredictable. The atmosphere of apocalyptic menace is also shot through with flashes of irresistibly cheeky comic relief. Still only in his twenties, this writer is surely going places. Whatever he dreams up next, his name will almost certainly be in lights at the Royal Court soon, if not at the National Theatre. * The Times * An unnerving mix of urban nightmare and sci-fi thriller . . . undeniably gripping * Guardian * A fierce dystopian drama with terrific comic edge. It flashes from casual naturalism to gory horror, from game playing to terrible earnest, form the vatic to the casual . . . McDowall is a grim wit who makes naturalism and surrealism look like best friends. * Observer * [A] brilliantly creepy and compelling new work by acclaimed young dramatist, Alistair McDowall . . . I greatly look forward to seeing McDowall's next work. * Independent
