Canterville Ghost, The

Synopsis:
A new adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic comedy. An American family take residence at the infamous Canterville Hall, known for its cantankerous ghost, Sir Simon, who has haunted his family home since his untimely demise in 1575. He attempts to dislodge the interlopers - but their 'modern' ways thwart him. . . until he comes up with a fiendish plan. Broad comedy, philosophy and a Gilbert and Sullivan spoof (I Am the Very Picture of a Petrifying Poltergeist) combine in a wry look at the past, present and the demands of society.

Lord Arthur Savile`s Crime

Synopsis:
Upstanding London gentleman Lord Savile is told by a fortune teller that he is destined to commit a murder. Determined not to shame his fiancee, Arthur postpones their marriage and vows to fulfil his destiny in the most inoffensive way possible. But after failing to poison his aunt and blow up his uncle, the Dean of Chichester, Arthur`s future looks grim - until a great opportunity presents itself. Classic Oscar Wilde, this is an hilarious and insightful look at fate, featuring the inimitable Lady Windermere. This adaptation was chosen for performance at the Oscar Wilde Symposium 2002 at Oxford University.

Overdue

Synopsis:
Librarian Daniel has barred almost everyone from his library. He is also extremely rude to his last remaining reader, Annabelle, and is in love with Shakespeare`s Ophelia. But events take a stranger turn when the fictional heroine of a romantic novel turns up to persuade Daniel to let the public back in. Through flashbacks we see Daniel`s relationship with his mentor, Agnes, while Annabelle descends into an Ophelia-esque madness. Daniel is finally challenged to a duel by Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, for a Dramatic finale! An award-winning comedy looking at how relationships appear easier when your loved one is fictional.
