Description: 'Gagarin Way', by Dunfermline playwright Gregory Burke, is a cruel, funny first play about a human heist gone horribly wrong. Winner of the Meyer/Whitworth Award 2002, Winner of the Critics' Circle Award 2002 and winner of the Scotsman Fringe First of the Firsts Award 2001, Gregory Burke's 'sensational debut play' (Daily Telegraph) was premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, and the Royal National Theatre, London, in 2001, transferred to the Arts Theatre, London, in 2002 and was revived for a tour of Scotland later that year. 'Tough, sardonic, nimble and brutally funny.' Sunday Times 'A blistering, brilliant, crazily confident first play. A ton of theatrical dynamite cunningly disguised as a mere Molotov cocktail.' Guardian.
