"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.

"Nelson, in his 100-minute play, intertwines two familiar themes: the sexual initiation of the young and the confrontation of American innocence by European experience. His hero, Carl, now married with children, reminisces about Paris is 1966. We see how, as 15-year-old student at the American school, he falls under the spell of a beguiling literature teacher. One night, after an extramural film excursion, Carl stays behind in her flat. For him, this offers a magical introduction to the world of art, music, adult emotion and Kama Sutra sex. For Claudie, the literature teacher, this brief encounter is largely a way of overcoming her devastation at the breakup of an affair. But what gives the play its peculiar charm is the tender collision between two people at different stages of their emotional cycle: Carl has what Henry James called 'the hungry futurity of youth' while the messed-up Claudie has the restless solitude of the permanent other woman ... Nelson has pinned down with exact compassion what happens when two worlds collide." Michael Billington, The Guardian "There's much talk of matters sensual in the play and offstage there's the initiation of a minor; but sex isn't exactly the theme. Rather it's about loneliness ... there are moments when it threatens to decline into that cliché liberal fulfilling Paris ... versus boring, restrictive Dumbsville, Ohio. But Nelson, an American dramatist much performed in Britain, proves himself defter, subtler than that." The Times "What makes the play so special is the vivid precision of the writing ... [Nelson] achieves a surprising variety of emotion on what might seem a narrow dramatic canvas. At times the comedy is unashamedly broad ... Yet the writing also cuts remarkably deep, not least in the subtly understated closing moments when mortality suddenly intrudes on this Arcadian idyll. For beyond the touching sexual comedy, MADAME MELVILLE is an exquisitely painful reminder of lost love, lost innocence and lost youth." The Daily Telegraph

Three Plays of Adolescence: Goodnight Children Everywhere; Franny's Way; Madame Melville Goodnight Children Everywhere Olivier Award for Best Play, 2000 'Exile - both literal and emotional - has been a haunting preoccupation for this dramatist. And with all themes of displacement and loss comes the yearning for a sense of place, for those attachments we cannot always rationalize but know as home. In Goodnight Children Everywhere, the safe harbor of home has been dynamited by war... A disturbing and lovely domestic drama about the loss of childhood.' New York Observer Franny's Way 'Boundaries warp and melt in the dense urban heat that pervades Franny's Way, Nelson's sensitively drawn portrait of love in the age of J.D.Salinger. The lines between childhood and adulthood blur disorientatingly for the three generations of characters gathered in a cramped apartment in Greenwich Village at the height of the summer in the 1950's... Nelson continues to give compassionate and insightful life to such erotic waywardness.' New York Times 'It moves with the breathless haste of a horny teen on prom night.' Time Out New York Madame Melville 'A memory play of wonderful delicacy, tenderness and humour... I left the theatre elated at having discovered such a terrific new play. An exquisite reminder of lost love, innocence and youth.' Daily Telegraph 'An elegant, tender, beguiling play.' Guardian 'It moves with the breathless haste of a horny teen on prom night.'
