SynopsisExplores the reactions of ordinary people living with the confused events of December 1989 in Romania, focusing in particular on two families. 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the revolution, which brought about the end of Communist dictator Nicolae Ceauçescu's reign and his subsequent execution. Caryl Churchill and a group of acting students travelled to Romania only 3 months later, in order to write a play based on the accounts of ordinary people and their experiences of the revolution. They lived and worked with Romanian drama students and it was this collaboration that resulted in the creation of Mad Forest.

SynopsisSiblings, Tom and Heather, are cleaners at a prestigious London hotel. On the surface they are a normal team, but beneath the facade they have created a world of fantasy, where the clothes of hotel residents are used to recreate their bizarre desires. Based loosely on Genet's The Maids, the play explores the power struggle between the two downtrodden employees, and the dangerous and crazed lives they live.

SynopsisDeep in the Polynesian islands of the Pacific Ocean, hungry spirits circle the homes of writer Robert Louis Stevenson and artist Paul Gauguin. Join them in their final hour to usher death into their island homes. The path to Stevenson's grave, his 'Road to Paradise', is complete; he can pass on anytime he likes. But, having spent thirty years in rigorous combat with the grim reaper, is he finally ready to concede defeat? His islander maid, Java is terrified his spirit will get waylaid on its journey back to Edinburgh and stay to devour her soul. Gauguin too, is ready - he has bought rum, arsenic and morphine for his suicide cocktail and is certain he's not long for this world. It seemed easy enough to avoid being arrested by the gendarme, but he'll be damned if they give him a Catholic burial in consecrated ground. Set in the strange and supernatural surroundings of Samoa and Tahiti, Death of Long Pig explores the duality of experience from the perspectives of two great artists; one voyage made in the name of life and peace, the other hell bent on heresy and suicide.

Synopsis1780. Glasgow is booming, but the American war is looming, and the city's wealth is dependent on the import and export of American tobacco. Can the great port survive? Howver, this pressing question is NOT addressed by Enoch Dalmellington, Virginia Street. He is more concerned about marrying off his dreich pious humourless daughter Euphemia, being able to afford his pew at the Tron Kirk, and what to do about Mistress Zapata's scurrilous predictions about Glasgow in 2009. Apparently 'women will be attending university, the poor will all have water closets and his beloved Virginia Street will become a hotbed of sodomy!'

As she attempts to fill her nicotine-starved days, the events of a troubled past slowly begin to resurface; an abusive ex-boyfriend, a new life in New York, a bizarre roommate and a boss who is a little too hands on. As her emotional debris accumulates, we see Charlotte's vivid memories juxtaposed against her present day life.
