Killing Time
Synopsis:
A comedy with a serious twist. Four musicians gather in a recording studio, to play composer Franklin Campbell's latest piece of experimental music, whose theme is time and its passing. the trouble is, are they being foolish to be in a place with only one exit, and with Franklin on the outside? Especially when he holds a grudge against each of them: Linda, who was his wife until she went off with Malcolm; Malcolm, who was his best friend, until he went off with Linda; Jacob, who was his tutor at college but who failed him; and Stuart, who is, in Franklin's opinion, far less talented, but far more successful.

Rats, Brats And Bureaucrats
Synopsis:
A modern telling of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. And then some. Tessa: a secondary school teacher, has reached the end of her tether and does not welcome a visit from Russ, the local pest controller.

A most enjoyable, witty look at bureaucracy, teaching and 'getting a life'.

Wit's End
Synopsis:
Regret, redundancy and redemption all collide as Nigel Phillips, a chat show host, tries to avoid his past and escape his fate; both are closing in on him relentlessly. A modern Faustian tale where, Dave the demon in his nineties guise as a financial adviser, tries to stake his claim to Nigel's soul. A poignant and cautionary look at the cost of selling one's soul for economic, materialistic, social and egotistical security. Who'll win the battle of wits?
