Synopsis: The dramas of everyday life in Belfast are but off-stage events in this stirring play about the lives of three women whose men have been killed or imprisoned for their political activities, but where bread must still be bought between explosions. In spite of its chilling theme there are many humorous and heart-warming moments - a play about people, not politics, which offers excellent acting opportunities. Rona Munro received the Evening Standard Most Promising Playwright Award for 1991 for Bold Girls.

Synopsis: A play about the discovery of a 'wild child', examining our mythic struggles with the wilderness inside ourselves. A 'wild child' is found in the last clump of woodland left on a building development. The builder, Peter, wants him out of the way. The psychologist, Julius, wants to protect him. His wife, June, wants to understand him and all the time something even wilder seems intent on escaping from the forest. The Indian Boy was written for the Royal Shakespeare Company and was inspired by the 'little changeling boy' who is the source of Oberon and Titania's quarrel in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Synopsis: A gripping and darkly humorous play about the camaraderie of a trio of obsessive mountaineers. Grizzly, Dog and Gnome live to climb mountains. They're good at it. They're not looking for death. They love what they do and they do it to the limit. But they're climbing up to places where death is only one mistake away. Suffused with black humour, Long Time Dead is an expedition into ghosts frozen in time, immediate bonds of camaraderie and horizons yet to be discovered.

Notes: Original Playwright - Evelyne de la Cheneliere, from a literal translation by Christopher Campbell
Synopsis: Do you ever wish love could be more like the movies? François does. A cafe bar tender - frustrated screenwriter, he uses every event in his life as inspiration. He casts Sophie, his ex-flatmate-turned-lover-turned-friend, opposite Robert - a cafe regular and university professor. Outside the city, Sophies childhood friend Lea, runs a B & B. Shes drowning in "too much fresh air and boredom". A surprising, passionate encounter provokes her to seek out Sophie for a reunion. Their stories colllide and interweave with intriguing serendipity. Strawberries in January is a biting, heart warming comedy about four romantically challenged singletons who stumble through contemporary Montréal in search for love. Originally written in Québec French, the play won the Masque Award for Best Original Script.
