Two Lawrence Plays: Empty Bed Blues and the Fox…and the Little Vixen

PRAISE FOR STEPHEN LOWE’S LAWRENCE PLAYS Weaving Lawrence’s short story with a sub-plot that sees Jill helping to stage Janacek’s opera The Cunning Little Vixen is both ingenious and satisfying. THE GUARDIAN Intelligent and well-performed live theatre is a rare commodity and shows like The Fox… and the Little Vixen should be grasped with both hands. More please. DERBY EVENING TELEGRAPH The drama is gutsy and explosive and Lawrence’s original is grippingly revitalised. THE STAGE Like Lawrence, Lowe comes up with extraordinary moments of pathos and poetry. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH Empty Bed Blues is a very fine play about one of the more curious episodes in Lawrence’s varied and eventful life… an entertaining, amusing, dramatic, moving and thought-provoking piece.
