| Follows closely the story of the Shakespeare original but transposes the characters into an East London setting. (The two feuding families, for example, are gangsters and trade unionists respectively, and Friar Lawrence runs a youth club.) The dialogue is in modern, colloquial form, and there are some songs. | |||||

| Alfred Lord Tennyson's father, though the rector of a delightful church in Lincolnshire, tended to fly into rages, most likely after a drink or two. Alfred himself was prone to seeing visions, and his brother Charles was considered the better poet when they went up to Cambridge and met Arthur Hallam. Hallam was the university whizz-kid of his day and an unexpectedly fierce champion of the young Alfred's work. His sudden death sent the future poet laureate into morbid brooding, from which he emerged a decade later with the best-selling 'In Memoriam' which in one glorious year -- along with being made Poet Laureate and marrying the eminently practical Emily - made the Tennyson we know today. | |||||

Notes: | The Soho Theatre, London, 17 Oct 2000 | |||||
| Rich is recruited into the secret service during the Napoleonic Wars and amongst the people he is sent to spy on is his own brother. Rich grew up in Folkestone and never quite accepted his parents' excuse ('the war') for leaving him alone and coming back from Flushing in Holland with his seemingly favoured brother Joe. When Joe takes after his father and begins coming back from 'over there' with unexplained bottles of brandy and French luxury goods, Rich's response is to join the Volunteers protecting Britain's coasts from the foreign invader Napoleon. No wonder that the mysterious Neal sees him as likely recruit for British intelligence in Flushing, spying on, amongst other, his own brother; a connection which comes in handy when, after the war, the latter is caught red-handed at his old trade. | |||||

| Herded into their cell aboard the convict ship, the six women convicts have little idea of the harrowing six-month journey that lies in wait for them. They are bullied from the start by their brutal jailer Sarge, who quickly recruits the soft-hearted Winnie as the cell's trustee or 'Matron'. Sarge also exploits his positon by coming on to Charlotte, a brash pickpocket, whose best friend Sarah, another pickpocket, is prone to sea-sickness but manages to find some solace with innocent cabin-boy Tommy; while political agitator Nance is stuffed into a barrel, beaten and finally flogged as a punishment for repeated disobedience. Meanwhile the older Madge's motives in cultivating the affections of hapless innocent Pitty are the subject of much suspicion, and up on deck the Surgeon is having a tough time with the Captain insisting on hygienic and human conditions for their increasingly restless cargo... | |||||

Synopsis: | This play, set in a time when class was everything, combines two stories through a Victorian gentleman, Arthur Munby. His interests in the working class lead him to study a group of northern pit women and an illicit affair with Hannah Cullwick, a London maid. This insight into a world much forgotten, poses questions more relevant than ever. Can cultural boundaries be crossed? Can people really be happy where there are? And just what is a woman's place. | |||||

| Rembrandt hopes for a cash loan from Jan Six - but the two can never stop arguing. Having rubbed most of the Amsterdam establishment the wrong way, with his creditors foreclosing on the loan for his house, and with the Church accusing him of living 'in sin' with Hendrickje, you'd think Rembrandt would be grateful for the attentions of the well-connected Jan Six and the odd lucrative commission he can still bring the ageing master's way. Instead the two don't stop arguing. Even the master's affection for his teenage son Titus expresses itself roughly. But when Rembrandt asks Six for a loan, and Six asks Rembrandt for a picture, it's bound to end in tears. | |||||
