Gut Girls: A Play

Ripen Our Darkness was the play that established Sarah Daniels as a writer; The Devil's Gateway carries the flavour of life in Bethnal Green in the 1980s; Masterpieces, Daniels' most controversial play is a radical take on the porn industry and caused outrage among critics - "The play has bite, anger and tenacity and many of its arguments are true...the supreme merit of Ms Daniels' combative work is that it makes me want to argue back." (Michael Billington, Guardian) Neaptide looks at lesbianism and prejudice - "A lacerating wit" (City Limits), whilst Byrthrite is set in the 17th century, at the point when the role of the healer was taken over by the male profession of doctor, it examines the implications and dangers of reproductive technology - "Daniels puts her case with vigour and wit" (Financial Times)

Humor & Entertainment

Methuen Drama

Sarah Daniels is "a writer with a natural talent for disturbance" (Observer)
 Set in the gutting sheds of the slaughterhouse at the Cattle Market in late Victorian Deptford, The Gut Girls shows how the lives of the girls are changed when their work is made illegal - "Regarded as little better than whores by their contemporaries the gut girls are...a boisterous, beer-swilling, strong-minded bunch, handy with a knife both in the gutting shed and outside it, defiantly independent in attitude and scornful of the illusion of male supremacy." Malcolm Hay (Time Out). Beside Herself is the first of three plays in this volume that deal with women and madness - "a dramatic analogue of a contemporary social tragedy which exists on a scale we are only just beginning to comprehend" (Observer); Head-Rot Holiday commissioned by Clean Break theatre company for ex-offenders, portrays the fate of women detained in special hospitals, a euphemism for an institution for the "criminally insane" - "There is a fine, hard humour, as well as compassion, in the way Head-Rot Holdiay examines the contradictions entangling these women's lives"; The Madness of Esmé and Shaz is "A weird and wondrous black comedy." (Spectator)

Daniels Plays: 2: Gut Girls; Beside Herself; Head-rot Holiday; Madness of Esme and Shaz (Contemporary Dramatists)

The Gut Girls

Samuel French Ltd.

Elliot, an eco-warrior, has fallen from a tree-top and now lies comatose in a hospital bed. When he fell, he slipped into the past, meeting Lucy, a suffragette from 1913. Alana, excluded from school, passionately follows all Elliot's TV news coverage and, by strange coincidence, it becomes evident that Lucy was Alana's great-grandmother. Alana is able to assist Elliot's recovery as well as using the past to find peace for herself.|6 women, 4 men
