Dennis Kelly

'Dennis Kelly is one of the most important playwrights of the 21st century. He has inspired so many playwrights and written the defining plays of his generation. Rousseau's brilliant, incisive book is full of deft insight and penetrating analysis. It is required reading for anyone seeking a deeper study of Kelly's extraordinary body of work'.

-Lucy Kirkwood, playwright

'Rousseau has done the impossible - written a definitive guide to that most mercurial and elusive of playwrights, Dennis Kelly. It's a rich, smart and comprehensive analysis, written with verve and energy, reminding us how daring, diverse and funny his work is, while also making a compelling case for its political sophistication. This is the book Kelly deserves'.
