Spoonface Steinberg coming to Audlem

Spoonface Steinberg

Originally written as a radio play broadcast on BBC Radio 4, this play familiarises the unfamiliar views of an eight year old, autistic girl diagnosed with cancer.

The razor sharp humour in this emotionally powerful monologue is ever evident as 'Spoonface' shares her honest and uplifting views on faith, love, and the meaning of life and death.

Lee Hall

More recently, the Pitman Painters earned him further acclaim (Winner of The Evening Standard Best Play Award). However, it was Spoonface Steinberg that attracted the most attention early in his career.
