Breaker's Yard

Synopsis:
the slums of Victorian London provide an easy opening for the enigmatic Jack Breaker to purvey his "Rainbow Dreams" - and to ensnare many others beside those already trapped by poverty.

Full Circle

Synopsis:
Young singer / songwriter Martin Cole's new single reaches the pop charts and he discovers that being successful is not what he expected. Pressure from local radio DJ's, his agent and the advertising moguls closes in on him and on his relationships with his very ordinary family, girl friend and other friends. With an "Elvis-type" spoof of a nightmare, a gaggle of performing Brownies and a chaotic film-set sequence, this piece offers great scope for imagination, versatility and humour.

Notes:
This hard-hitting piece provides A fast-moving focus on some of the emotional And practical issues facing teenagers today, examining, with honesty And humour, their relationships with each other And with their parents. It Also questions the part played by the media in modern society [is their role merely reporting events or is it more insidious?] before A strange twist in the tail completes the story.

Lonely Shepherd, The

Synopsis:
One of the children cast in the school nativity play suddenly tears off his costume and refuses to perform. Christmas, he claims, is about presents and parties, toys and cakes - and he proudly announces what he has received. But once he realises that he has only taken and not given, he feels lonely, needs friends and understands something of the Christmas spirit.
