Drunk Enough to Say I Love You?

“The greatest living English playwright and, in my opinion, the most important English-language playwright since Williams.” –Tony Kushner“Having dealt in the past with the politics of sex, Churchill puts the sexuality of politics center stage.” – Guardian“Her play is a a very topical manifestation of mistrust, anxiety, and, yes, anger.” - Times (London)“A smolderingly droll and deadly allegorical conceit… wickedly witty.” - Independent“No other writer can achieve what Churchill now does, which is to convey a universe of feeling in a minimal, stripped-back artistry. Though completely dissimilar to Beckett and Pinter, she is surely now in their class.” – WHATSONSTAGE.COMJack would do anything for Sam. Sam would do anything.
