Age Of Consent, The

Age Of Consent, The
Condemned by the mother of Jamie Bulger and acclaimed by the critics - for tackling the subject of child killers - this is the controversial new play from the winner of the Sunday Times Playwriting Prize 2001. Few kids have a secret as chilling as Timmy's. Stephanie loves Raquel to death. Acutely topical, darkly satirical and brutally uncompromising - these two monologues explore the shattering of childhood innocence. "the play opens up a moral minefield. Who can, or should, consent to what? Can anyone consent to something on the behalf of another? What power can anyone, a person or a community, have over the mind and life of another? Morris's play sends you out in a state of moral turbulence." (John Peter, Sunday Times)

Gaudeamus

Gaudeamus
What if bed-hopping among university students was not just inevitable, but mandatory? A sexy radical girl, an over-sexed jock and an ancient professor of Ancient Greek discover that with the lights off, a serious attempt to end discrimination can also be a very dirty joke.

Gone Missing

Gone Missing
A wry and whimsical documentary musical of loss devised from interviews with real-life New Yorkers by the Civilians, the acclaimed New York-based company. This collection of very personal accounts of things "gone missing"-everything from keys, personal identification and a Gucci pump to family heirlooms, your dog and your mind-creates a unique tapestry of the ways in which we deal with loss in our lives. A flexible company of six performs more than thirty characters, intertwining these stories of lost objects with tales from some unusual "finders," ranging from a retired NYPD cop to a pet psychic. Set against eclectic and tuneful songs by Michael Friedman, GONE MISSING is cabaret-theater about the little things in life seen largely.

Guardians

Guardians
a fictional account inspired by prominent true scandals of the Iraq War: the Abu Ghraib/Lynndie England affair and the publication by the British paper the Daily Mail of fake torture photos, which led to the resignation of its editor. This twin scandal and the eerie collision of Britain and America raise troubling questions about torture and accountability in the U.S. Army and the responsibility of journalists during wartime

Million HeArts For Mosley, A

Synopsis:
"Setting the Yeomen of the Guard score to new lyrics, Peter Morris has created a political satire based on the premise that Sir Oswald Mosley became prime minister in 1936. the result is a topsy-turvy view of British history that is as intellectually flawed as it is impressively executed. the problem with an anti-fascist musical is that form and content don't match. While it is possible to swallow Morris's premise that a Mosley premiership would have led to the execution of Virginia Woolf and the imprisonment of TE Lawrence, there comes a point when the smile freezes on one's lips: for me that is reached when Mosley sets up the Swansea Conference, clearly based on the Wannsee Conference which authorised Nazi genocide. Morris implies that the anti-semitism which poisoned British 1930s life is still active today. But the musical form gives a sheen to the fascism he deplores. And, although Morris claims to find in Sullivan's music a portentous nationalism, what I hear is a rippling melodic invention. Only in the transformation of "I have a song to sing-o" into a defiantly working-class anthem does the ironic contrast between music and lyrics pay off. ", Guardian
