INTERVIEW: PHILIP RIDLEY

The playwright talks to Aleks Sierz about his latest play, Leaves of Glass (Soho), a work which explores family relationships, memories of the past and hidden secrets. He also outlines his career and discusses the political resonances of his plays.

The two brothers play this political game in which they talk in this metaphorical language in order to provoke each other.
