Synopsis: It's like they want to tap into your soul - watch your every move, monitor who you are, file a report on you and sell you off.' There is a company that knows who you are. They trace every detail of your lifestyle, habits and spending. They know your darkest fears and secret hopes. They can change you. Claire has created a new identity for herself and promises to do the same for others in crisis. She alone has unrestricted access to the company records. Catch is a new collaborative play by five leading writers, which asks timely questions about who we want to become - and at what cost.

Notes: Original Playwright - Harold Brighouse

Synopsis: Originally written by Harold Brighouse in 1916 the story revolved around Henry Horatio Hobson, his three daughters and his struggle to run his boot making business whilst still maintaining control over his increasingly strong willed girls. In Tanika Gupta's brilliant adaptation the story remains the same but the harassed widower is Hari Hobson who lives in Salford with his three daughters Ruby, Sunita and Durga. His dress-making business is doing very well, until he makes the mistake of informing Durga (his eldest daughter and the brains behind the business) that she has to give up all idea of ever getting married and leaving the family.The incensed Durga turns the tables on her father by marrying Hari's best tailor, Ali Mossop, and setting up their own rival shop. With her fate firmly in her own hands Durga faces the tough decision of fighting against her father, or finding a way to join forces.

Synopsis: Her first play, Voices on the Wind, was developed by Talawa and the National Theatre Studio and based on an extraordinary incident in her family history. "In 1930, Dinesh Gupta, my grandfather's brother, was hanged by the British. He was only 19." A Bengal Youth Volunteer, Dinesh had been part of a suicide squad which assassinated the British inspector general of prisons. But while his comrades killed themselves, he botched it, was healed and then executed. "In prison he wrote all these beautifully eloquent letters to his family, which I was given and used as the basis of Voices on the Wind. My family is very proud of him and now a road in Calcutta is named after him."

Notes: Written By Tanika Gupta and Atiha Sen-Gupta. Hampstead Theatre's second new writing festival is what the theatre describes as "something of a cross-breeding experiment". It's called Daring Pairings and, as the publicity says, "instead of crossing a sheep with a kangaroo and getting a woolly jumper, or a centipede with a parrot and getting a walkie-talkie, we've been cross-breeding writers, artists and theatre companies."
