Notes: US premiere in spring 1996 at the prestigious Humana Festival in Louisville. It received its New York premiere in March 1997 at the Joseph Papp Public Theatre

Synopsis: Hilarious and deeply moving by turns, One Flea Spare is set in plague-ravaged 17th Century London where social roles and the boundaries that describe them have been into chaos. The definition of morality is up for grabs. History is being tantalised. And whilst the wealthy William Snelgrave dreams of sweating, swearing tars, and of how sailors satisfy their "baser instincts" so far away from female company, his own wife, untouched for 40 years, is discovering that her dreadfully burned body may not be numb after all. The human heart craves comfort, contact, tenderness; survival may take many forms

Notes: -

Synopsis: The play deals with poverty, calling forth hard-time lives during the Great Depression. People scramble and scrape for work. If they can find it. Running like a major thread through the characters' close connection, they must tangle with the theme of populist Marxism finding fertile ground at the point in history which the play calls forth. They must portray simple, not very articulate individuals who cannot debate major issues, yet who belong in that time and place. Overall not a promising situation. Two of those people are black, father and daughter Tice and Cali Hogan, way down on the bottom of that particular food chain. The other person with whom they reluctantly connect is a violence-prone young white man, Corbin Teel. Set in another steel town with vicious labor struggles, Birmingham, Alabama. There former factory hand, sometime churchifying preacher Tice also preaches the gospel according to Marx. His daughter Cali remains sour about all faiths and much else in life, men included, while she scrubs and purifies white peoples' dirty linen to eke out a clean living. They reluctantly open their door to Corbin, a fellow laborer, though no Marxist, seeking asylum after probably killing someone. He brings triple danger, being white, a fugitive and capable of more brutality. When refused sanctuary, Corbin threatens to reveal Tice's involvement with the movement at a time when Tice's life would thereby be in even greater peril. Consequently the three of them tensely remain together. And, eventually Corbin gently, openly hankers after Cali, despite her attempts to avoid him. - alternative newspaper PULP
