Four minutes twelve seconds

Four minutes twelve seconds
He says they all do it. These kids, you know, they've got their phones. Film everything. Can't say I blame them. I would at that age. Seventeen-year-old Jack is the apple of his mother's eye. His parents, Di and David, have devoted their lives to giving him every opportunity they never had. As a result, Jack is smart, outgoing, and well on his way to achieving the grades to study Law at Durham University. But a startling incident outside the school gates threatens to ruin everything they've striven for: an incident that suggests a deep hatred of their son. As events begin to accelerate, Di and David start to doubt Jack's closest friends, Jack himself, and ultimately themselves - who can they trust? In a world where smartphones are ubiquitous, James Fritz's deeply provocative and topical drama throws a light on the sorts of insidious opportunities new technology offers - where nothing dies online, except reputation.

Ross & Rachel

Ross & Rachel
So no one told you life was gonna be this way. . .Fifteen years after their happy ending, Ross and Rachel are still together - and it's boring. When a visit to a doctor brings bad news, the great romance that never materialised is thrown into stark relief. Inhabiting the consciousness of the most famous fictional couple of a generation, one actor stages the breakup of the 21st Century. Because every relationship has to end somehow.
