<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Emma was having the time of her life. Now she's in rehab. Her first step is to admit that she has a problem. But the problem isn't with Emma, it's with everything else. She needs to tell the truth. But she's smart enough to know that there's no such thing. When intoxication feels like the only way to survive the modern world, how can she ever sober up? Following a sold-out season at the National Theatre and in London's West End, Denise Gough reprises her Olivier award-winning role in the American Premiere of People, Places & Things at St. Ann's Warehouse.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Duncan Macmillan is not the first dramatist to tackle addiction. What gives his new play exceptional vibrancy, though, is its decision to draw parallels between rehab and theatrical process, and to present the action from the addict's point of view...a vivid tale' The Guardian 'The self-destructive spiral of abuse has fuelled infinite plays and films, yet People, Places and Things is distinguished by its central question about what any of us chooses to find real, and how that choice either benefits or destroys those around us.' Time Out 'The writing is exquisitely painful. At times it feels like Macmillan has taken one of those little spoons, the ones with the serrated edge, for grapefruit, and scooped something out of you.' The Stage ★★★★★<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Duncan Macmillan is an award-winning writer and theatre director whose plays include Lungs, Every Brilliant Thing, 1984 (co-adapted/co-directed with Robert Icke) and 2071. His play People, Places and Things transferred from the National Theatre to the West End in 2016.
