London Theatre Direct

Uncompromising, staggering and shocking, MOTORTOWN is a must-see piece of theatre causing controversy in a way not seen at the Royal Court Theatre since Sarah Kane’s Blasted first premiered in 1995.

Simon Stephens wrote MOTORTOWN in a creative frenzy over four days, starting on 6 July 2005, the day London won the Olympics. The next day the city was bombed.

His response to England today is MOTORTOWN.
