Book excerpt: Owen McCafferty's first collection brings together one short- and four full-length plays set in the author's home city of Belfast. Shoot The Crow 'Tragicomedy of character and circumstance that makes McCafferty look like a ribald Northern Irish Chekov.' Guardian. Scenes From The Big Picture 'An epic that attempts to put the whole of human life on stage - birth, death, love, sex, work, families - the whole damn thing... McCafferty offers us a wise and compassionate view of the human heart.' Telegraph Closing Time 'The existence of a writer as good as McCafferty induces a perverse, paradoxical hope.' Guardian Mojo Mikibo 'A razor sharp evocation of time and place.' Irish Times
