Synopsis: Welcome to the "animal shift" at Kale Moor grocery distribution depot. Under the imaginative guidance of Bruce "The Gamesmaster", work here is an endless round of food sports (sprout tag, Smartie-and-flan-base tiddlywinks, frozen fish swordfighting . . .), sarcasm and juvinile humour, much enjoyed by the all-male night-shift workers. But a major change is due, for their new colleague is not a born games player but is - even worse - a woman, who can see through the childish antics of the men to the insecurities, and weaknesses beneath. At first, relations are reasonably civilized, but the gloves come off when the cerebral challenge of murder-mystery role-playing is presented to the team . . .. and there are surprises in store for all of them.. | ||||

Synopsis: A comedic exploration of the benefits of the business outward bound course and how relationships can be changed forever by a weekend away in the country. Four out-of-condition, middle-aged businessmen sent off on a team building exercise in the Lake District succeed in being the first people ever to get shipwrecked on an island on Derwentwater. Bound in fog, menaced by wildlife and cut off from the world, this perfunctory middle-class exercise turns into a carnival of recreminations, French cricket and sausages. What should have been a bonding process for Gordon, Angus, Roy and Neville turns into a muddy, bloody fight for survival. Because when night settles in, strange things happen out in the wilds. And what took place on Neville's Island that foggy November weekend none of this particular middle-management team would ever forget. | ||||

Synopsis: Three households in Cheshire have agreed to hold a "safari party" - a dinner party, each course of which is served in a different house. The hors d'oeuvres are served by Daniel and Adam, young brothers whose abusive father was recently shot dead, the entrees by Lol and Esther, upwardly-mobile and vulgar, and deserts by Inga, a seemingly benign antiques dealer. The three housleholds are linked not just socially, however: there's the whole question of the table . . . The brothers sold it to Inga, inventing a slightly colourful history for it to increase its value, and she then re-sold it at a staggering profit - with even more elaborate storytelling - to Lol and esther. As the evening progresses, the many layers of truth about the table, some shocking, are revealed and violence flares. | ||||
