This play about faith, love and the meaning of life was first broadcast on Radio Four in 1997 and is now published in this stage version.
Lee Hall has won numerous awards, including a Sony award for his phenomenally popular radio play Spoonface Steinberg, which later transferred to the stage in a production with Kathryn Hunter. His play Cooking With Elvis had a sell-out run at the Whitehall Theatre throughout 2000, after his stint as Writer in Residence at the RSC. His adaptation of A Servant to Two Masters was a smash hit for the RSC and the Young Vic, and continues to tour worldwide. His two Brecht adaptations, Mr Puntilla and his Man Matti and Mother Courage and her Children were both sell-out successes in the West End. Lee Hall was Oscar nominated for his screenplay Billy Elliot.
Hall uses the oddball honesty and eccentric speech patterns of
savant autism to explore immense philosophical and aesthetic
themes, without losing the earthy practicality of a child going
through medical and family troubles ... he links her small
individual experience to all great tragedies in art and history, to
the Holocaust and the indomitable universal spark of life.
