Synopsis:
Shows in a naturalistic setting, but with poetic resonances, a father son tension in an imprisoning, middle class social setting. "In Stewart Conn's play The Aquarium a woman asks, 'What's the use of loving someone if you don't show it?' This is the key to the bitter conflict between father and son that Conn so vividly presents. Their hostility does not stem from a lack of affection, but from their inability to express goodwill towards each other. Their relationship steeped in rancour ... neither is prepared to understand the other, or to make the gesture that would bring them closer together."
- Allen Wright, The Scotsman

Synopsis:
Focuses on a Scots mercenary under trial in an African state, and on his uncomprehending family and girl, at home; mixing black comedy with social comment and bemoaning with corrosion and loss of human life. "Play Donkey centres on a young Scottish mercenary awaiting an 'exemplary' trial in 'some emergent African state'. Like a child's game of cat's cradle, it links his destiny with some of those most closely affected by it - his bewildered parents, two girls, the clever London lawyer who flies out to plead his cause, knowing it is already as good as lost. Conn's strength is that he refuses to take sides ... Laughter is written into the play, and deftly so. It is laughter only to stop you weeping."
- Cordelia Oliver, The Guardian
