Synopsis:
A psychiatrist waits in State House, Harare, for his first encounter with a most unusual patient. Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe, is in crisi, and Andrew Peric must discover the root of his anxiety. But can Mugabe be treated like any other patient? Witty and provocative, Fraser Grace's new play imagines the combative relationship between the black president and his white psychiatrist. In a series of bruising encounters, Breakfast with Mugabe explores the conflict between despotism and liberalism in modern Zimbabwe.

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.

Notes:
joint winner of the Verity Bargate Award 1996
Synopsis:
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.
