Willy Russell's work is phenomenally popular with schools, colleges and universitiesA top twenty selling Methuen Drama play title
Willy Russell, born in Whiston near Liverpool, is one of the mostpopular and successful contemporary playwrights whose works are studiedin schools and colleges. His plays include: One for the Road, Stags and Hens, Educating Rita, Blood Brothers and Shirley Valentine.
Russell plays don't date, any more than Jane Austen novels - Rita
is a universal figure: any of us in a time of transition,
increasingly uncomfortable in our old world but, as yet, unproven
in the new.
*Libby Purves, The Times, 28.07.10*
Willy Russell is a dramatist of exceptional warmth and
humanity.
*Henry Hitchings, Evening Standard, 28.07.10*
Russell, too easily dismissed as a slavish populist, here seems a
cherishably perceptive observer of the vagaries of social class and
sexual politics.
