He told me about some bloke who was sick and then got well - by placing a poem by William Blake in his shirt pocket . . . Heading for the West Country by train, an actor takes the scenic route from Waterloo to spend a weekend with an old friend. He recalls staying there one summer with his late partner Michael, another actor. Glad to be alive but uncertain of his future, he shares stories and his thoughts about Shakespeare, friends, his career and the trials of his own health. Richard Nelson's funny and compelling monologue opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, in March 2024.

Nominated for Tony Award, Best Play "Illuminating, enlivening, a sheer joy." James Christopher, Time Out "Sharp characterization and magical theatricality." John Peter, The London Times "Containing statements like 'American actors for America!' and the ugly sounds of a nationalist riot, the play holds a disturbing mirror up to a world where fundamentalist bigotry is on the increase... It is Nelson's achievement to have done this through a drama that is also quite exhilarating." Paul Taylor, The Independent "This is a must for theatre lovers; or as the actor sitting next to me put it, 'Now I know why theatre has me by the throat.' Precisely!" Liz Gilbey, What's On "Mr Nelson's work is partly about the glorious chaos of play-making but also chases much bigger themes. On one level, his play is about theatre as a metaphor for post-colonial arrogance... On another level, it is about the power and mystery of acting itself." Michael Billington, The Guardian

In 1780, America's most successful General believed the War of Independence had lost its way. He decided to surrender his soldiers, hand over George Washington to the British and end the war. In America today, General Benedict Arnold is considered one of the most heinous men the world has ever known; in London, a plaque celebrates the house where he lived out his years in exile. Richard Nelson's haunting play presents a richly emotional portrait of a man searching for love and country, and finding only compromise and despair.

In the process by which a new play migrates from the desk of the person who wrote it to the stage where it comes to life in front of an audience, the relationship between playwright and director is crucial. And yet, through a combination of circumstance and theatre etiquette, there is little public knowledge of what actually goes on in the rehearsal room except when something goes badly wrong and the code of privacy is broken.

"The General from America provides a rich portrait of Benedict Arnold, a man most often dismissed simply as a traitor (at least in the United States). Nelson's account of Arnold's search for love and country, and his discovery of only compromise and despair, will haunt readers and audiences."--BOOK JACKET.

Nominated for Olivier Award, Best Comedy "Behind [Nelson's] play lurks the daunting question of what we actually go to drama for. What, he asks, is its value if it doesn't modify and affect our behavior? ...Behind Mr Nelson's very good jokes [reminiscent of an American David Lodge] lies a real fear that we increasingly divorce art from life and treat culture as something devoured rather than digested." Michael Billington, The Guardian "Funny and thought provoking...leaves one hungry for me." Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph "A delight." Paul Taylor, The Independent "A gripping evening. The humor is based on genuine insight, and while the characters talks a lot, the unspoken tensions tend to be even sharper than the spoken ones. There are some painful moments and some oddly moving ones... But comedy wins out in the end..." John Gross, Sunday Telegraph

In the midst of our unsettled world, The Apple Family, last seen in 2014, return; though not over the dinner table, but via Zoom. This hour-long play picks them up in the midst of their now suspended and quarantined lives. They talk about grocery shopping, friends lost, new ventures on a hoped-for horizon, all during a time when human conversation (and theater) may be more needed that ever before. The Apple Family plays: "No previous works of theater have been topical in the resonant and specific ways of the Apple Family plays... They are a rare and radiant mirror of the way we live..." Ben Brantley, The New York Times The critics on The Apple Family's first Zoom play, WHAT DO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT? viewed over 80,000 times in over 30 countries: "Infinitely Poignant." The New York Times, Critics Pick "The First Great Original Play of Quarantine." The New Yorker "The best example of Zoom theatre I have watched so far." The Guardian, Five Stars "It's almost like you are watching a new art form being born." Vogue "It couldn't be more relevant to how we are right now." The Washington Post "Brilliant Theater on Zoom." Daily Beast "Stakes claim as first powerful drama of the pandemic." Deadline "Immensely tender and beautifully constructed new drama that responds directly to the current situation." Financial Times
