| When pirate-turned-explorer Martin Frobisher discovers a new land in the Arctic filled with riches, Elizabeth I glimpses a golden future of wealth, prestige and influence. Charmed by tales of the exotic singing 'Esquimaux', the Queen invests heavily to bring 'civilisation to the natives' and their assets home to England. Frobisher's Gold blends history, comedy and politics in a tale of imperial desire, improbable coincidences and bad dentistry. | |||||

| This is a provocative new play about Mikhail Kalashnikov - the Russian inventor of the AK47 assault rifle, and a decorated Soviet hero. Set in Kalashnikov's dacha amidst the dark woods and waters of a fairy tale Russian landscape, a young journalist, Volkov, comes to interview the elderly Kalashnikov about his time on the front line and his subsequent invention of the AK-47 assault rifle. With the help of his daughter and grand-daughter, Kalashnikov initially welcomes Volkov into his home but as the questions harden and ambiguities appear in Kalashnikov's recollections, some painful and extremely uncomfortable truths begin to emerge. . . | |||||

| What if the world had changed? What if parenthood was forbidden? What if you broke the rules? A couple desperate for a baby. A boy who has seen too much. Watching over them all are the saviours; policing us into being human, protecting us from a world which is riven with fear. They call themselves the Lifesavers. | |||||

| Are some lives worth more than others? The town of Pensacola, Florida, is about to be set alight by the fiercest of battles: a struggle that pits the law of God against the law of the land, and the right to life against the right to choose. On one side of the city stands the May Lake abortion clinic, on the other the headquarters of the pro-life extremists Operation Freedom. As clinics are torched upstate and the number of terminations rises, the two sides are set to collide with potentially murderous consequences. A gripping play that looks at the irreconcilable differences that simmer beneath the surface of a liberal society. | |||||
