Evelyn - (Modern Plays) by Tom Ratcliffe (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

'Do you think I'm a monster?

I do sometimes.'

There are a few things that we know about Evelyn: we know what she did, we know that we hate her, and we know that she's still out there. Somewhere. She's just not Evelyn anymore. She could be anyone. Even you. Britain is on the hunt, it has been for years. Walton is on high alert . . . and Sandra's just arrived.

Inspired by real-life events, Evelyn is a story of mob justice in modern day Britain that interrogates the question: when is justice really served?

The edition was published to coincide with the premiere at Colchester's Mercury Theatre and London's Southwark Playhouse in June, 2022.
