Ambulance was produced at the Royal Court in 1987, directed by Lindsay Posner and starring Kevin McMonagle.

"Andrea Dunbar’s The Arbor and Gregory Motton’s Ambulance both came in around the same time, changing the landscape"

'It arrives in an envelope and begs to be staged': the thrill of an unsolicited script

Gregory Motton's plays are a landscape of spiralling surreal horror, about people who have been left behind the mainstream of the  world...the unlucky side of the coin of the twentiefth century....Michael Hastings

Motton is no social realist,...but a sparkling surreal poet, a deliciously original and touchingly funny playwright (Giles Gordon, London Evening News)

"a young voice of urban displacement and unlocated grief" (Micheal Ratcliffe,  The Observer)

"Ambulance" was part of the  one and a half play love affiar between me and the theatre, which ended when they found that I "changed the landscape" just a bit too much for comfort- "Downfall" ...and exile, awaited.
