novel by Leo Tolstoy

a huge novel filletted to two and half hours. Beautifully distills the romance to the four main characters, an aatonishing insight into the double nature of the couple bond, the way it is both the arena for our most intensely private dreams and longings, and a profoundly social institution which cannot survive the trauma of parenthood, boredom, ageing and the thousand other banalities of everyday life without the rich webeb of other people's needs and expectations to sustain it. - MacMillan, Scotsman

Explores the lives of an ordinary family who are aware that they are part of a story, and initially bemused by all the attention. The everyday concerns and events of their lives form the early part of the play - raising children, growing up, growing old. But all of this changes when Death comes calling. Plunged suddenly into a reality where they can no longer rely on the 'certainties' of existence, Joe, Mary, Kevin and Mazz must reassess their lives. Perspectives change and the things they cherish and regret are stripped of all the usual distractions and confusions. The play presents a warm and uplifting look at how ordinary people deal with tragedy. It's a story that will resonate with anyone who has lost someone they love - and suggests that when we grieve it's for the good times that are past rather than the pain we feel now.

"John Clifford uses the story of St. Lucy who, in Syracuse in 300 AD is said to have put out her eyes rather than submit to a Roman general, as a jumping off point in all kinds of directions . . . Clifford looks at the way self-deception, ambition and manipulation are used by the Church to secure their position 'at a time of darkness before the red dawn'. And he goes on to deal with the warmongers, the futility of conflict and the ability of the human spirit to surmount impossible odds, ending on a high note of forgiving optimism."

from story by Alexander Pushkin. Revived with Russian and British actors at the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton (10th- 26th May, 2007)

Clifford's idea is to find in Tchaikovsky's opera The Queen of Spades a key to the composer's own life. Thus the aged Countess who, in the story, possesses the secret of the fortune-creating three cards, transmogrifies into the real-life Madame von Meck who bankrolled the composer. And, just as the fictional Hermann is torn between money and love, so the composer himself battles with the pull of art and sex. Mean-while, a ghostly Tchaikovsky surveys events from the vantage point of 1917.

Original Playwright - Federico Garcia Lorca

Written in 1934, Yerma is set in rural Southern Spain, where Lorca grew up. As in his other masterpieces, Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba, the play's main character falls victim to an overwhelming passion they cannot control. In Yerma - which means 'barren' - a woman longs to have a child by her reluctant husband. Although remaining faithful to him despite her attraction to another man, she eventually murders him in a climactic frenzy.
