Giles Cooper Award winner<br />
“a morally ambiguous comedy…an American in London thinks he’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… True and funny as well.”<br />
Paul Ferris, The Observer<br />
“A neat, beautifully written, serious comedy about translation, exile and betrayal—one of the very best on Radio 3 last year.”<br />
Nigel Andrews, The Listener<br />
“A rare sort of treat…a very funny play, delicate in its touches, but sharp as a needle.”<br />
Gillian Reynolds, The Daily Telegraph</p><p>EATING WORDS<br />
Giles Cooper Award winner<br />
“Totally enthralling… Richard Nelson is God’s gift (or at least America’s) to English radio drama.”<br />
Nigel Andrews, The Listener<br />
“A thoroughly absorbing account of two writers on a drunken tour of London.”<br />

ADVICE TO EASTERN EUROPE<br />
“A masterly short play—a post-Cold War romance that is witty [and] technically bold—examines how one woman’s Utopia may be another person’s capitalist nightmare.”<br />
Quentin Curtis, The Independent on Sunday</p><p>THE AMERICAN WIFE<br />
“A reminder that Nelson is the sharpest observer around of the gulf separating Britain and America.”<br />
Michael Billington, The Guardian</p>
