Hard Fruit
A new play by Jim Cartwright premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in March 2000
From the author of Road and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice comes a new play about life in the North. Sump and Choke are the Little and Large of the local pub. They are friends who have bonded together though a shared passion for the martial arts. What happens to them during their bonding exercises surprises them both. Jim Cartwright's comic drama looks at two northern hard men and explores the idea of masculinity in an age when every certainty is in doubt.He's large as life at the star and garter Saturday afternoons. He bit a pool ball in half last week. He might be a hundred years old but he's the same as ever. A rough tuff puff.

New Cartwright Redefines Brilliant
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A longtime fan of Cartwright's plays, I wasn't sure what to expect with this new one, but this is THE BEST PLAY I HAVE READ IN 3 YEARS!! I am a director of new plays and read 10 plays a week...this is absolutely brilliant. The combination of poetry, metaphor, action, character re-definition - - it's his best work yet, and crucial for any one writing plays. I can't rave enough about it.
