Press clippings

Wry accounts of a playwright's tribulations are never likely to be popular, especially when there is real hysteria and fear coiled into the repartee. But I am enjoying every minute of it. Charles Wood is a quirkily sardonic writer who is apparently trapped for the moment behind a thorny lattice made out of the loops and whirls of his own words.

Dennis Potter, The Sunday Times, 8th May 1977
