Aphrodite Blues

Synopsis:
Is revenge a dish best served cold, or is it better heated up, served with feta cheese and washed down with a multiple orgasm? On an island in the Aegean, three women are desperately seeking Harry, a famous travel writer who has disappeared. Will Penny find Harry - and what will she do if she does? Will Verity find Harry - and what will she do if she does? Will Trevor find the perfect older woman? Will Caroline get the sand out of her thong? Is there such thing as a constant erection? And what is the secret of Aphrodite? Every woman should know. No man will want any woman to know!

Interview, The

Synopsis:
It sets us in the office of novelist Desiree Martin, who is taking interviews for the position of 'writer's flush' - the cure, don't you see, for writer's block. Someone to act out scenarios with her, to stimulate her imagination. Scenarios involvingguns, lesbianism, handcuffs, one-liners and double-crosses. and Rosalind seems the perfect candidate - a natural improviser, with an lQ to match. But ah-hah! What if she is in fact having an affair with Desirbe's husband? Or what if Desiree herself is a psycho? What we've got here is a slick update of 'sleuth' or, if you want sophistication, lonesco's 'the Lesson'. Ingenious role-play, a meta-plot addicted to carpet-pulling twists and inversions, all served up with a piquant sauce of neo-noir sex 'n' shocks.

Subject To Angels

Synopsis:
An off-beat psychological thriller. A quiet drink in the lounge, turns into a frighteningly bizarre evening for the guests as they are confronted by the coolly sinister Jerome. Boasting that he has a bag stuffed with nearly six million pounds (or has he?), Jerome plans to prove that not everyone has their price. But maybe they have. A tortuous mind game questions what's right, what's wrong, moral or immoral. . .just how far will people go? Will they sell their bodies, commit murder, steal - will they forfeit their soul? What shall it profit a man? 'What is man that thou art mindful of him?'

Trembling Game, The

Synopsis:
Mike and Glenn return to Mike's flat after a conversation in a local pub on the subject of women. They have not met before this night, both taking a risk by being there, but who is in the greater danger? Hamilton's play explores the dynamics of a relationship between strangers who have nothing to lose by being honest. As the discussion becomes more drunken, it descends into a psychological battle of wills; a confused travel through an evening, full of wrong turns and roundabouts, and inevitably ending in a head-on-collision.
