REVIEWS:

"Shopping and Fucking is a darkly humorous play for today's twenty-somethings... a real coup de theatre."

 Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard

"Plunges you into the world of disposability, disconnection and dysfunction, where relationships to be trusted have to be reduced to transactions... strong stuff."

 Paul Taylor, Independent

"Ravenhill has more to say, and says it more refreshingly and wittily, than any other playwright of his generation."

 Time Out

"Ravenhill has a sharp eye for the blackly comic bizarreries of this tragic, emotionally shrink-wrapped world."

 The Independent

"Ravenhill writes well, sometimes eloquently, even bordering on the poetic."

 CurtainUp

"Ravenhill's shocking drama presents the most graphic and disturbing gay sex scenes ever seen onstage."

 New York Magazine
