Molly Davies is a British playwright originally from Norfolk but now living in London.
A graduate of the university of Kent at Canterbury, she is currently writing and works part-time as a teacher. Davies is a product of the Royal Court Theatre's programme for young playwrights, and her debut play 'A Miracle' was staged at the Court from 27 February to 21 March 2009.[1] The play met with instant acclaim from the critics. Evelyn Curlet wrote in The Stage "Davies writes with punch and panache and has made a spare, powerful debut",[2] Charles Spencer wrote in the Telegraph: "this proves a shattering full-length debut"[3] and Dominic Maxwell gave her a 4 star review saying she was "another striking success from the Court's new writers season".[4] 'A Miracle' also received strong reviews in several of the UK newspapers and Davies was longlisted for the award for Most Promising Playwright in the 2009 Evening Standard Awards.[5]
"There ent much use for reality out here, but I could tell you a few truths. I could sing you a song of welly boots and blood, knitting needles and caster oil. There will be pigs that scream, a girl who cannot feed herself, a miracle baby - and a flatness that consumes us." ' A Miracle' M Davies.
