&nbsp; &nbsp;&ldquo;a morally ambiguous comedy&hellip;an American in London thinks he&rsquo;s translating a novel by a penniless Polish emigre, only to find, after befriending and patronizing him, that the Pole has ditched his benefactor for another hack&hellip; True and funny as well.&rdquo;<br />
Paul Ferris, The Observer<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&ldquo;A neat, beautifully written, serious comedy about translation, exile and betrayal&mdash;one of the very best on Radio 3 last year.&rdquo;<br />
Nigel Andrews, The Listener<br />
&ldquo;A rare sort of treat&hellip;a very funny play, delicate in its touches, but sharp as a needle.&rdquo;<br />

ADVICE TO EASTERN EUROPE<br />

Quentin Curtis, The Independent on Sunday</p><p>THE AMERICAN WIFE<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&ldquo;A reminder that Nelson is the sharpest observer around of the gulf separating Britain and America.&rdquo;<br />
