Broken Biscuits (NHB Modern Plays) - Softcover

This tale of teen rockers strikes the right chord... A sweet meditation on the fierce, fragile alliances formed on the cusp of adulthood... treads a perfect line between gauche charm and whimsy. --Guardian

It's Funny It's engaging. It's even heart-warming, but most of all, it's perceptive about the characters concerns and insecurities... writer Tom Wells clearly understands teenagers, so we really do believe what we are seeing and hearing. We're not talking dysfunctional families, broken homes, drugs or criminality, just the normal concerns of ordinary sixteen-year-olds. Normal yes, but no less painful for that. --British Theatre Guide

Lovely...funny, confessional and well crafted... The dialogue feels authentic while Matthew Robins' lyrics feel like Victoria Wood for a new generation... When the play delves into difficult issues, specifically around gender, it gets really interesting. A marker of a show that's doing what it should. --The Stage
