Synopsis:

In this fictional treatment of the relationship between Maud Gonne, Irish revolutionary and actress, and the poet W.B. Yeats, Maud and her daughter Izzie, prepare to testify at the trial of Maud's estranged husband, John MacBride - on trial for his life because of his part in the Easter Revolution of 1917. Maud must face up to the disastrous conse quences of her manipulation of MacBride, and yearns for the counsel and solace of her old lover, Yeats. Confronted with evidence of her dwindling powers, she refuses to attend the trial. Later, Yeats appears with the news of MacBride's execution. He repeats a proposal of marriage made thirty years earlier. How and why Maud tells him no frames the dilemma of human relationships explored in the play; the desire for vulnerability subjugated by the need for control.

Synopsis:

Based on the legend of Lady Wen Chi, a Chinese noblewoman abducted by marauding nomads in 200 A.D. Wen Chi's resistance to change and insistence on isolation precipitates a violent struggle between herself and the nomad chieftain T'ai Han. He pits himself against her death wish and conspires with the harsh elements of the steppes to strip her layers of acquired personality and reveal, at the core, the durable consciousness of life Wen Chi always possessed. Stylistically, the play draws upon elements of Oriental theatre; it requires a great deal of movement, stresses the visual and is highly theatrical.

Synopsis:

A young teacher is brought face-to-face with the fragility of her aspirations in the contemporary world. With her lover breaking away in pursuit of his career and her colleagues battling to save the school from closing, Elsie finds herself turning for answers to an unlikely source: Maisie, the schizophrenic mother of her best friend. Maisie not only turns Elsie's values on end but throws the household into chaos as she careens towards a breakdown, forcing each character into an abrupt moment of self-recognition and leaving Elsie, alone by the end, with a stronger more resilient vision.
