Synopsis: CLIFF, a genial, psychotic football hooligan, and PAUL, a serial Hell's Angel biker-type thug, are languishing in their prison cell when they are visited by WARBOYS, an aristocratic Englishman with powerful friends in business and politics. He proposes to set up a white supremacist homeland in East Anglia, with Chelmsford as the capital and with CLIFF and PAUL in high places of command. They agree to join. WARBOYS slowly also draws CLIFF's fiancée, ROWENA, and half-brother, JASON into the plot, together with a young girl, TARA, who wants to become an actor, three Dutch neo-Nazis, and another prisoner GRAHAM, in prison for defrauding the DHSS. CLIFF's scrapyard on the River Lea in Bow is chosen as a good base from which to launch attacks on the black and Muslim communities because it is on the border of the old 9th Century Danelaw, ruled by the Vikings. Happily, this plot goes badly wrong, and many of the protagonists are killed in a police shoot-out.

Synopsis: The play is set in the Religious Studies Department of an East End comprehensive and is concerned with religious faith as an individual pilgrimage or quest for enlightenment versus the notion of religion in schools being basically about cultural studies. "Learning about others versus learning about yourself" as one character, BARRY, puts it, who stands for the pilgrimage view, as opposed to PAT BAXENDALE, who embodies the cultural studies and politically-correct viewpoint, and AILISH, a dithering, sex-starved, irresolute Anglican. BARRY is flirting with the Roman Catholic Church and the arrival of ROGER, a nerdy evangelist seems to be about to nudge him further down this road, until he balks at the level of commitment needed. In any case, ROGER ruins everything by murdering his mother VIOLET, and her boyfriend, FRANK in a fit of religious fervour.

Synopsis: Serial day-dreamer ROY BLETCHLEY finds himself odd-man-out at his multi-racial East End comprehensive, where he feels mocked by his class-mates and persecuted by TESSA, an officious and politically-correct Citizenship Studies teacher, whilst at home his self-confidence is even further undermined by a dysfunctional father, DEAN, uttering doom-laden warnings about an hereditary mental illness - the 'Bletchley Curse'. ROY withdraws into a fantasy world where he is, by turns, 'ZAC', Director of Social Services for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and 'ORAC', warrior-king of SKARA BRAE, the stone-age settlement on Orkney. Hope, however, seems to arrive in the form of LOUISE McCORMACK, folklorist fellow pupil who confides in ROY that her dearest wish is to return to the Selkie Folk or Seal People, from, she claims, the McCORMACKS are descended. Together ROY and LOUISE plan to pursue their dreams and escape to Skara Brae. . .
