Synopsis:
Having failed for over a year to track down a serial killer, Detective Chief Superintendent Philip Meredith is informed that he is to be taken off the case, much to the relief of his wife Lynn. then a polite young man, Mark Sorrel, arrives at his home and confesses to being the killer. Meredith's initial reaction of irritation and disbelief turns first to anger, then to fear as Sorrel's disclosures, and his obsession with Mozart, uncannily begins to tie together so many unanswered questions.

Synopsis:
In 1940 children of all ages are evacuated from a blitzed London and are taken to the strange world of 'the Country'. As they attempt to settle down in their new community it becomes apparent that international tensions can be reflected wherever you are. A simplicity of setting allows for a cast of many young people, with great opportunity for cross curricula activity, and retells the story of the Nativity with a poetic and often humorous flow, that results in a poignant and moving climax. *NEW TITLE*

Synopsis:
the Great War 1914 - 1918. When Stevie and Boy were children, something haunting and terrifying happened at Dead Mans Wood, where the trees they grow so high. But now, their youth in rural England is threatened by an even greater shadow - the outbreak of World War 1. Leaving their mothers and their girlfriends, they go to fight for King and Country; but their patriotic fervour and stirring ambition, soon dissolves into despair and disillusion. In the height of the battle, as the trees are destroyed, the events of the past come back with devastating consequences. In a simple setting, a cast of two men and one woman play numerous characters, who unfold a poignant personal tale of the physical and emotional tragedy of World War I. Winner of the 1997 DAW Playwriting Competition.
