One of the most brilliant plays to have been written in recent years, That Face was the debut from young playwright Polly Stenham. First produced at the Royal Court in 2007, it won her The Evening Standard's Charles Wintour Award, the TMA Best New Play award and the Critics' Circle's Most Promising Playwright.

That Face portrays an affluent family in freefall. Mia at boarding school has access to Martha’s drugs. Henry has dropped out of school. Martha, their mother, controls their lives — a darkly comic exploration of children who become parents to their parents.

"This is one of the most astonishing debuts I have seen in more than 30 years of theatre reviewing. Its author, Polly Stenham, a graduate of the Royal Court's Young Writers Programme, is 20 now, just 19 when she wrote a play that sent me reeling into the night... In every respect this is a remarkable and unforgettable piece of theatre." (Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph)
