''Look - they''re fading. Those liars. Dissolving . . . It''s the end of their world . . . The birth of a new one . . . Our one . . . Our world.''

It''s Mother''s Day and mother is dead. Now her two sons gather in her home to argue about the truth of their childhood. But a storm is approaching . . . with a violent new truth all of its own.

Piranha Heights is non-stop, filthily poetic and a searing insight into the disenchantment of young people today.

This edition, featuring a revised script, published to coincide with play''s revival at the Old Red Lion, London, in November 2014.

Praise for Leaves of Glass: ''Like a shard of glass plunged straight to the heart . . . superb.'' Guardian
