<i>The Pitchfork Disney</i> heralded the arrival of a unique and disturbing voice in the world of contemporary drama. Manifesting Ridley''s vivid and visionary imagination and the dark beauty of his outlook, the play resonates with his trademark themes: East London, storytelling, moments of shocking violence, memories of the past, fantastical monologues, and that strange mix of the barbaric and the beautiful he has made all his own.<i>The Pitchfork Disney</i> was Ridley''s first play and is now seen as launching a new generation of playwrights who were unafraid to shock and court controversy. This unsettling, dreamlike piece has surreal undertones and thematically explores fear, dreams and story-telling. First produced in 1991, it has gone on to be recognised as the annunciation of Ridley''s dark and seductive world.
