Check out a great radio play written by her on R4 called "the Receptionist" from last Friday.

Would love to...have only read Hotel World but that was enough to make me a fan...how can I get it if it was on last Friday though?

Perplexed and quite ignorant,

Ali Smith is writing a new play for Trestle Theatre Company which will have a huge and exhaustive UK tour next year- long time to wait I admit, but probably worth it, it's about a boy brought up by a pack of wolves (I think). http://www.trestle.org.uk
If you don't know them Trestle do fantastic and weird stuff involving mask, puppetry, movement, wonderful soundscapes as well as some lovely performance and of course fab new writing. I am biased as I work with them, but am excited about this new play.
