| Was it the music that made you do it? Did you chant lyrics while you beat his brains out? Did the preacher inspire you to despise people who fall in love without your permission? Where does the rage begin? "He was white. And he was queer. And he was there. In our club. In our music. In our face. What's he expect? A kiss and a cuddle?" An electrifying new play - hard-hitting, tender and painfully funny. About love, about hate - Bashment is a play for our times. | |||||

| Caesar Ramsay works hard for his family. But the news his son Nelson reveals, sends Caesar's seemingly ordinary life rapidly spinning out of his control! Fast, furious and very funny, Familyman asks some vital questions for 21st-century parents, like: - How do you learn to be a dad when yours left before you were two? - How do you take on responsibility for a child before you're legally responsible for yourself? - How do you teach your children respect in an age of liberal parenting? - How do you raise happy, confident and successful children without throttling them before they reach eighteen? Fresh, insightful and delivered with razor-sharp wit, Familyman confirms what many of us know only too well - parenting is messy! | |||||

| In 1930s Berlin - an intriguing city of jazz and underground cabaret overpowered by the rise of Hitler and World War II - the daughter of a Jewish family falls in love with their black shabbes goy (a term used for those who assist Jews on the Sabbath with tasks forbidden to Jews within Jewish law). Fast-forward to the tale of a mixed-race couple in seemingly unprejudiced modern-day Brooklyn, where the same family is coping with a number of calamities. Shalom Baby is a touching and very funny exploration of love, family and friendship. | |||||
