Dead Or Alive

Synopsis:
the play is a fantasy about a pregnant woman entering an abortion clinic who argues the pros and cons with the twin embryos inside her, their Father and two spare sperms. the action takes place in a children's playground or is it her womb? Or her mind? the main protagonists are the boy embryo who pleads with his mother to be born and the girl who approves her mother's decision to abort them both. after some initial antagonism the woman tells the embryos the story of their conception which they find absorbing although they manage to get slightly wrong impressions of their father. When he appears in the latter part of the play he pleads with the woman to give the children life. He is welcomed as an ally by the boy embryo but fiercely castigated and catechised by the girl. Finally the woman goes through with her original decision but there is a further twist which negates her choice.

Hostage To the Chechens

Synopsis:
This play is about hostages reacting to intimidation - by defiance or by submission. In 1854 the fanatical Chechen leader Shamyl kidnaps two Georgian princesses in order to exchange them for his son. During eight months of captivity Princess anna resists Shamyl's demands that she plead his case with the Tsar despite ominous threats. In contrast her sister Varvara urges submission knowing how her husband had suffered as Shamyl's prisoner. the hostages are tormented by one of Shamyl's wives but helped by another. Shamyl himself plays genial "uncle" to the children while bullying their mother. the deadlock continues for eight months but has a benign outcome.

Revenge Is Justice

Synopsis:
a play about injustice and revenge, patriotism and greed, Scottish nationalism and english racism, of political leaders bowing before the passions of the mob. In 1705 four english sailors were hanged at Leith for pirating a Scottish ship on the evidence of an Indian with a grievance against his english Captain. In fact the piracy charge was trumped up by the Scottish India Company as a reprisal for the seizure of one of its own ships in London. the Scottish Privy Council, frightened of the mob, allowed the execution despite pressure from London.
