One of a series of drama texts published to coincide with theatrical premieres of new plays and translations.

In Sweet Panic a child psychologist's understanding of contemporary life is brought into question when she finds herself stalked by the mother of one of her young clients. 'Stephen Poliakoff's brilliant new play is a spiritual thriller for the 1990s - which certainly does not mean that once the 1990s are over it will be tired and dated Sweet Panic will survive because of its intensity and perception' (Sunday Times)
