Angels

Ronan O'Donnell
An uproarious underworld whodunit, Ronan O'Donnell's single-hander reworks the hardboiled crime thriller for our times. A suspicious death at the workplace and loner security guard Nick Prentice is hauled in for interrogation. The Inspector thinks he's got his man, as Nick's seedy wee stories' seem to nail him to the crime. Is he complicit in the death of two-bit shoplifter Gary Glover? Will Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson come to his rescue?

In The Bag

Ronan O'Donnell
The first modern Chinese play to be seen in Britain, in an English version by Ronan O'Donnell first seen at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. Translated, the Mandarin phrase 'In the Bag' means 'safe and secure' as well as 'trapped and contained'. Hard-edged but tender, In the Bag explores, through the relationships of two couples, a culture torn between its history and its contemporary reality.
