Cuthbert's Last Stand
Synopsis:
Mrs. Pennington-South has succeeded in coercing a handsome young man - Tristram - back to her home to have tea with her and her ill-tempered son, Cuthbert. What the shy, rather awkward Tristram doesn't realise is that he is, in fact, being presented as a possible suitor for Cuthbert. His mother's matchmaking arrangements, however, have become increasingly intolerable for Cuthbert and as the tea progresses and the intimations and pressures are ratcheted up, Cuthbert finally reaches breaking point. exasperated and angry, he decides that the time has come at last to confront his mother with the shocking truth that he knows can only break her heart: the open admittance of his heterosexuality.

Indigenous Peoples
Synopsis:
Over a bottle of wine, Roger and Caroline embark upon an awkward discussion regarding the lack of intimacy in their relationships with others. Later, as nature calls, Caroline's fear of being overheard while relieving herself compels her to venture further afield in search of a more private area in which to avail herself. Terror strikes, however, when she is convinced that she's been bitten by a snake - also in a private area. Too far from help, Roger attempts to remove the venom in the only way he knows how, sending Caroline reeling from desperation to exultation, and inadvertently shifting their relationship to a level of intimacy that had once seemed unattainable.

Synopsis:
elaine Wavering has tired of life. What started as an uphill battle has now devolved into a seemingly endless repetition of stagnant middle-class routine. On one particular morning, however, her regimented husband, Graham, confesses - under pressure - to having experienced a homoerotic dream the previous night, throwing her neat and tidy, albeit oppressive existence into complete disarray. Simultaneously, a rupture in the waste-disposal unit of their kitchen sink inadvertently leads to a shocking and entirely unexpected unraveling of their marital house of cards. Seeking solace and guidance from her semi-estranged sister, Joy, elaine must now confront her life head on and make decisions that until now would have been unthinkable.

Most Interesting Man In the Whole Wide World, The
Synopsis:
Horatio Higgins recently lost his job. He also lost his parents, so he claims, though the precise cause of their demise remains something of an enigma. Living alone in his tiny flat, Horatio's sense of isolation is mitigated only by a near-continual dialogue with himself and by the companionship of what he affectionately describes as "my wife." Things change, however, when he encounters a sweet, impressionable young woman named Nore. as their relationship lurches unsteadily forward, Horatio finds himself struggling against a riptide of conflicting realities that he is ill-equipped to cope with until events at last overtake him and a new yet oddly familiar reality emerges.

On this particular night, however, Rachel has failed to return home at the usual time, abandoning Jack to the vagaries of his imagination.

Dr. Pecksniff, a most singular psychiatrist, is relishing the prospect of fleecing yet another unsuspecting troubled soul - on this occasion a gullible housewife with a crumbling self-image and a sizable nest egg. Seizing on her admittance of a penchant for romance novels, Pecksniff convinces his patient, Mrs. Flagg, of her imminent slide into moral turpitude, offering salvation through his own unique, very expensive (and battery-assisted) approach to mental health

Two written parts await to be brought to life on a stage. One of them, however, is found to be mired in a crisis of self-worth due to the size and quality of their role. the larger, more developed part must then attempt to convince its smaller counterpart of just how necessary they are to the production that is soon to begin, and of the true and indisputable collaborative nature of theatre.
