Her work has been widely translated and performed across the globe, but despite the prolific appearance of her plays on professional stages, in university studios and school classrooms, she is a writer who is yet to have a book dedicated to her award-winning oeuvre. Throughout the volume, key creative practitioners add rehearsal room insight, alongside the perspective of Laura Wade herself and a foreword by Tamara Harvey, Co-Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Regular collaborators Harvey, Katherine Parkinson, Lyndsey Turner and Samuel West provide perspectives on Wade’s work, including the Olivier Award-winning \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHome, I’m Darling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the frequently staged \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAlice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and her inventive adaptation of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Watsons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
