​

Three short, shocking and provocative plays by one of the Uk’s leading social and political writers.

​

Thermidor
Set in 1937 at KGB Headquarters, Moscow. Anya Pakhanova has been summoned to
answer a few questions at a preliminary investigation which turns into an interrogation
between a bureaucrat and suspected dissident. A short, sharp, analytical look at Stalinism
in the Soviet Union in the 1930's.
Apricots
1971. Sam and Anna sit in their garden, dinner guests gone, kids in bed. In the short
course of the action the couple talk, argue and copulate. Separated and isolated from each
other they struggle for power in their relationship using sex as a tool and a weapon. A
lyrical, erotic interlude on the sexual politics of love in marriage.
Camel Station (European premiere)
Set in North Iraq in 2001, written that year to protest the war on terror for the Not in Our
Name movement. A 14 year old boy, Tarik, tasked by his shepherd father to guard the
sheep from wolves, writes and rehearses an audition piece for the Storytellers' Course at
the Hakawati School in Nineveh. His cousin Suriya, on compassionate leave from the
Medical School at Bagdhad University to tend her sick mother, joins him on the mountain
side, hears him present the story, and grows gradually scandalised by its provocative
candour.
