Cover Title Author

Two modern feminist classics by a writer who was amongst the extraordinary generation of British female playwrights to emerge in the 1980s. 'McIntyre's first Royal Court play, Low Level Panic, [is] a deft and funny all-female three-hander, set in a bathroom... In McIntyre's next play, My Heart's a Suitcase, which had its premiere at the Royal Court in 1990, the sense of invasion felt by the two female central characters is dramatised by characters called Pest and Luggage,…

Two powerful expressionist plays from the early career of one of the twentieth century's most significant writers. The Hairy Ape is a nightmarish condemnation of the dehumanising effects of industrialisation on the American people. All God's Chillun Got Wings is a vigorous social commentary based around a violently dysfunctional mixed-race marriage.

The Iceman Cometh
Eugene O'Neill

Harry Hope's Saloon is a waterfront bar full of life's failures. They exist barely, living on the knowledge that love is a chimera and despair is perpetual; that the desires they cultivate of an impossible future are only ever pipe dreams, because the only thing to look forward to is death. And then one day Hickey walks in with his own personal brand of hope, and his urge to make them face the truth.

Brilliant Lies
David Williamson

Williamson turns his penetrating eye and sharply focused wit to issues of political correctness and sexual harassment. A serious comedy, Brilliant Lies is a stimulating contribution to the continuing debate on our changing social values.

St James Infirmary
Nick Enright

As protesters march against the Vietnam War, boys in a Catholic school prepare for their final exams. One student paints an anti-war mural in the cadet drill hall and is forced to confront the consequences of his action.

Two compelling and thought-provoking plays from one of the twentieth century's most significant writers.

Playing for Time
Arthur Miller

The extraordinary story of the women's orchestra in Auschwitz, originally filmed for television with Vanessa Redgrave, and adapted for the stage by Miller himself.

Dinkum Assorted
Linda Aronson

In the winter of 1942, when 2000 American airmen are stationed near the small town of Warrabadanga, fifteen female workers battle to keep the biscuits baking. This rousing musical comedy showcases an entertaining slice of Australian social history.

Ghetto
Joshua Sobol Adapted by David Lan

Set in the Jewish ghetto of Vilna, Lithuania, in 1942, and based on diaries written during the darkest days of the holocaust, Ghetto tells of the unlikely flourishing of a theatre at the very time the Nazis began their policy of mass extermination.

Cloud Nine
Caryl Churchill

A landmark play about sexual politics in colonial Africa and modern-day Britain, in which all our assumptions about sex and gender are stunningly exploded.
