This volume includes Can’t Stand Up for Falling Down, Pond Life, Mortal Ash and All of You Mine. Can’t Stand Up for Falling Down, written as interweaving monologues, is a contemporary coming-of-age play set in rural Yorkshire and centres around a death that may not be quite as accidental as it seems “Cameron’s play is itself cumulatively and salutarily devastating…building up a picture from many partial perspectives, the monologues are beautifully arranged” (Independent); Pond Life is a play about a life-changing fishing expedition “the unpatronisingly sensitive vignette of adolescence explores more angles than angling in these youngsters’ lives” (Mail on Sunday); Mortal Ash is a tale of youthful love, death and regeneration; All of You Mine deals with the miners’ strike of 1984 and it’s effects on an ex-pit village near Doncaster “there is a remorseless Ibsen-like vigour about the way he uncovers lies, motives and bad faith” (Sunday Times).
