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. Pomona premiered in 2014 and has subsequently become a much-produced and widely studied drama text. It is published here as a Student Edition alongside commentary and notes by Dan Rebellato. The ancillary material is geared at students and includes: - an introduction outlining the play's plot, character, themes context and performance history - the full text of the play - a chronology of the playwright's life and work - extensive textual notes - questions for further study This play includes some strong language.
Editorial Review: One of the most distinctive new voices in British writing. * The Guardian * In McDowall's surreal vision, [a] neglected space becomes a symbol of the vacuousness of the modern world - yet also of its extraordinary, mythic possibilities... It's a perfect image of Pomona's nightmarish allure and McDowall's power to suck us in. * Evening Standard * Brilliantly creepy and compelling, [it] darts back and forth in time and disorientingly blurs the divide between horror games and a much more nightmarish reality... The piece remains forever slippery about recognizing evil, challenging us with the moral ambiguities of its mobius strip nature. * The Independent * Alistair McDowall is, I think, the most exciting playwright to emerge out of English theatre in the past five years...He makes me want to try harder. He makes me want to be better. -- Simon Stephens, Playwright, UK
