Notes: "Play For Today" Season 8 programme 17. Directed by Colin Bucksey

Synopsis: Selby is a secretary at a big company. She moves to the charity division as she wishes to do good and ends up running the department. Her colleague wants to promote hard hitting, yet inoffensive publicity campaigns but these all get vetoed or scuppered by central or local governments. Selby goes to a country devastated by a hurricane and promptly gets kidnapped by guerrillas. The story is interspersed with short sketches: A thief steals money for charity and is angry when they wont accept it; a Sheik buys Marks and Spencer and local dignitaries enter a pie throwing contest.

Notes: Original Playwright - Olivier Choiniere

Synopsis: "From the other side, I'm looking at you. You're looking at me. We smile at each other." Welcome to Walmart. A cashier and her fellow workers flick through celebrity gossip magazines on a break. 'SEE YOU LATER, CELINE' says a headline. What's wrong with Celine? Why is she turning her back on her glamorous public life, her adoring fans? And how is her story connected to the story of an unknown woman on the facing page? It's not. Until Caro intervenes. This wild and slippery fantasy from Quebecois writer Olivier Choiniere explores our insatiable appetite for private lives made public.

Synopsis: 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. Set in both colonial Africa and modern-day Britain, Cloud Nine is about relationships - between women and men, men and men, women and women. It is about sex, work, mothers, Africa, power, children, grandmothers, politics, and money.

Notes: "Play For Tomorrow" Season One programme one. Directed by Stuart Burge

Synopsis: The future - 2002. Prisons are full to bursting. A leading criminal psychiatrist has taken home recordings of some of the sessions he has had with various prisoners and he watches them whilst his wife agitates about their forthcoming house move. The session he watches is with Jane, Ron and Elliot. Jane is a murderer and arsonist. She has had an electronic implant and this has turned her into a model prisoner. Ron is in prison because of his love of the countryside. City dwellers are only allowed into designated areas of the countryside - but Ron kept wandering off and getting arrested by police patrols. Eliot is on hunger strike but will not talk about himself. He tells the story of a neighbour arrested for not obeying the police. She had refused to go indoors when they, the police were beating up a suspect. Melvyn turns the recording off and his wife reminds him it is time to watch the Government programme "Select and Survive" which gives handy hints on bunker construction.

Notes: Original Playwright - August Strindberg. tr. Caryl Churchill, adap. Katie Mitchell and the company

Synopsis: Written in 1901, a mysterious amalgam of Freud, Alice in Wonderland and Strindberg's own private symbolism, A Dream Play follows the logic of a dream: A young woman comes from another world to see if life is really as difficult as people make it out to be. Characters merge into each other, locations change in an instant and a locked door becomes an obsessive recurrent image. As Strindberg wrote in his preface, he wanted 'to imitate the disjointed yet seemingly logical shape of a dream. Everything can happen, everything is possible and probable. Time and place do not exist.'. From a literal translation by Charlotte Barslund. Introduction by Caryl Churchill.
