I may be wrong - he's nothing if not prolific after all - but
Leaves of Glass might be the last remaining full-length Philip Ridley play I hadn't yet seen; I think it premiered just before
Piranha Heights, which was the first play I saw by someone who became one of my favourite playwrights.
Leaves of Glass, which Max Harrison revives at the Park, is definitely on the more naturalistic end of Ridley's work, focusing on two East End brothers: The eldest, Steven (Ned Costello) is the successful owner of a business that cleans graffiti. In theory it's a partnership with his younger brother, but in practice Barry (Joseph Potter) is just one of the cleaners, and isn't even particularly good at it. He eventually quits the job after running away rather than destroy a mural he finds powerful, and makes a second attempt at the art career he failed at when he was younger.
