Some Good Advice
Grim family farce. Naturalistic. Set in bed-sit. A new husband, Martin, is severely lectured by his thrice-divorced Pa-in-law on the values of marriage.
The Nomination
Orthodoxy versus mystery. Squares debate the arrival of the non-sequiter man, Henderson, in their midst.
Dialogues with Clovis
Two odd ball replica-reprobates talk of the World and of Man in the basement of Universal Charities under the Twin Towers. All ended with a whimper, didn’t it? Or did it? This play is for all of those who were lost there. And for all of those who weren’t.
Better Still the Night
Allegory of war. Three deserters hole up in a ruined castle. They are haunted by spectres of their own violence. Weird subterranean troglodytes emerge from the vaults to purge them of death, especially the ‘timor mortis conturbat me’ bit. All ends in a bloody mess, hardly surprising, being human.
The Women of Pilleth
Contemporary play, set after the battle of Pilleth during the Middle Ages. Welsh women in frenzy rend the dead of both sides. Samhain and the mid-summer Furies are blamed. A Celtic Bacchae glossed over in Welsh annals - any bloody body’s annals, come to that.
