19 October - 17 November 2012
For pretty seventeen-year-old Maura, life in London's underworld is just part of being a Ryan. Although at first she doesn't approve of her brother's escalating criminal ambitions, Maura soon finds herself drawn to the family business - and ready to make her mark.
"More cleavage, bitching, dodgy deals, queasy stomachs and fist-fights than a Friday night Romford cab rank, the Theatre Royal and Queen Martina have done it again." - The Wharf on The Graft
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of Martina Cole's first novel Dangerous Lady, Theatre Royal Stratford East presents a stage adaptation with all the drama of the novel. This will be our third Martina Cole stage adaptation: previous productions have been Two Women (2010) and The Graft (2011).
"I realised I was watching something rare and cherishable: the theatrical equivalent of a page-turner." (4 stars) Evening Standard on Two Women
