Synopsis:
The Basement Flat features Fiona and Stephen, whose domestic life, if ever it was idyllic, is rapidly shading into a horror-movie nightmare. In a globally warmed london full of lush vegetation, "hot, dirty rain", creeping fungus and feral teenagers, they cower in the rented basement flat of the house they once owned but have had to sell, too frightened even to search for their teenage daughter, who seems to be living somewhere in the jungly garde.
- Joyce McMillan, Guardian

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.

collaboration between Stephen Greenhorn, Rona Munro and Isabel Wright
Gilt
Gilt is the result of an innovative and possibly unique collaboration. Three of Scotland's best writers have worked together on the one play, creating seven characters whose worlds collide and interweave to create a modern mosiac about money and love. Each of the characters is traying to work out the best currency in which to conduct their dealings with the outside world. They are all guilty victims of love or money or both.

When Bernarda Alba's husband dies, she locks all the doors and windows. She tells her grown-up daughers to sew and be silent. "There are eight years of mourning ahead of us. While it lasts not even the wind will get into this house." But not even the tyranny of Bernarda's repressive rule can cool the passion and desire that smoulder darkly within the household.

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:
Dornoch, northern Scotland, 1727. In the claustrophobic heat of summer, a woman's apparent ability to manipulate the power of land and sea stirs suspicion. Janet Horne can cure beasts, call the wind and charm fish out of the sea. Or can she? As her refusal to refute their claims of sorcery incenses the local community, her magnetic allure continues to captivate and destroy. The Last Witch is based on the historical account of Janet Horne, the last woman to be executed for witchcraft in Scotland. She was sentenced to death by burning in her home town, accused by friends and neighbours who believed she had made a pact with the devil. Rona Munro is one of Scotland's leading playwrights and The Last Witch has been specially commissioned by the Festival. Munro explores the psychological rifts that can divide close communities and drive families apart, and vividly illustrates the destructive potential of fear in a small village.

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.
