| Description |
"This double bill is a reminder of what a promising playwright Conigrave was before he died in 1994. Thieving Boy is a mawkish, clumsy attempt at kitchen sink realism while Like Stars in My Hands is a work of great sophistication and profundity. Presented in tandem, they suggest a writer whose development was infairly cut short." |
