    About this ebook

    Three flatmates. A single bathroom. And a whole world of men.

    In this funny, unapologetic play, three twenty-something women figure out how they really feel about sex, their bodies and each other. With a vibrancy and stylistic freedom, Low Level Panic interrogates the effects of society's objectification of women.

    Low Level Panic premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 1988, winning the Samuel Beckett Award. This edition was published alongside its first major revival at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in 2017.

    'Low level panic is the constant fear that runs through women's lives like a cold underground stream, its source is male violence and it is fed by tributaries of pornography. Clare McIntyre's play looks at the repercussions this fear has on the lives of three women' - Time Out

    'McIntyre has a deadly accurate ear, a subtle sense of humour and a deep fund of compassion: she writes with thrilling understanding' - Sunday Times

      What a wonderful, insightful read. McIntyre's dialogue is so precise. She gives you her social commentary in little bites, slowly and artfully, through spurts of fractioned catharsis. Her use of the theatrical medium lends itself to creative, original ways to present events visually, through moving, but not entirely triggering, detail. I appreciate her careful attitude toward giving the actor control over how to portray something so traumatizing while still being mindful of the victims in her audience who have also experienced parts of these characters' journeys in sundry ways. I'm definitely going to reread this. I hope one day to produce this, so I was also excited that the licensing info is in the back. RIP Clare.
