We need more playwrights like Napoli. She’s a real talent with something powerful to say and the ability to communicate it with candour and clarity.

(Praise for Mad Madge:)

When you watch Rose Napoli's new play Mad Madge ... you might find yourself recalling other larger-than-life rom-coms... But with her trademark wit and relentlessly goofy sense of humour, Napoli's also created a totally original work.
