Synopsis: Paul and Tony work in an ad agency as art director and writer. As the play opens they are struggling to come up with a concept for Eazisoft toilet paper, when Larry, an Account Director, appears with bad news. Their largest account has been taken over by an American chemical multi-national which has decided to realign its advertising worldwide. They will have to repitch. Paul is immediately worried what would happen if they lose the business - he has a credit-card hungry partner, Liz, and has just taken on a big mortgage. Later Tony researches the new American owners and discovers they are big in pesticides and insecticides as well as toiletries. Not only that, but products which are banned in the USA and much of the world are still being sold by them to some developing countries. This puts Paul and Tony in a great dilemma: they don't believe they should work on the business. Yet, if they refuse to, they could be sacked; knowing that, if they lose the business, they could lose their jobs anyway.

Synopsis: If Scotland can get back the Stone of Scone, Greece wants the Elgin marbles back and India wants its Koh-i-noor diamond, why shouldn't Wales have Stonehenge back? Inspired during a walk in Pembrokeshire's Preseli Hills, Roy Brown forms Carreg Las (Welsh for 'Blue Stone') and sets about trying to enlist the support of members of the Welsh Assembly with little success. But when a local eco-community is about to be evicted, Roy uses the resulting media coverage as a platform for his own campaign. The campaign soon gathers momentum as stunts such as blocking the Severn Bridge with camper vans are staged.Roy even gets a local theme park to sponsor the removal of Stonehenge back to Pembrokeshire. They can see distinct possibilities of the attraction, especially when coupled to a new white-knuckle ride...Everything appears to be going well until Roy starts receiving more mail, some of which appears to be from irate Druids who remind him in no uncertain terms of Stonehenge's association with sacrifices, and how he could be instrumental in revitalising the ritual...

Synopsis: Three women, Carol, Ann and Judy, are having a reunion in a wine bar one evening. It's the first time they've been together since leaving school. The play opens as they arrive back, the worse for drink, at Carol's flat - a very upmarket warehouse conversion. Carol is keen to impress the others. She is married to a successful publisher. What she fails to disclose is that he is a publisher of porn magazines. Judy is married with a young child and Ann is still single, but happy working in a dress shop. As their talk continues, and more drink is consumed, they begin to disclose more and more about their private lives. And when Carol suggests playing a kind of truth game, secrets they have kept hidden for years emerge with disastrous consequences.

Synopsis: The eco policies of successive governments have failed. When a series of volcanic explosions in Iceland (and the resulting blanket of dust and ash) cause the country to be plunged into a 'year without summer', it only serves to mask the vastly increasing build up of greenhouse gases, storing up disaster on an ever larger scale. Subsequently, the imminent general election is contested by the newly formed Reality Party which sweeps to power on the back of greatly heightened public concern for the environment. Living at the end of a peninsula, George is happily retired and an example to everyone of how to practise sustainable living. His son, Brian, is a councillor and member of the Reality Party whose policies directly conflict with George's lifestyle. No longer, for example, are old people allowed to live alone in properties which are larger than their needs. A decision which George bitterly resents and protests loudly about. Brian is intent on forging a high-flying political career for himself and sees his father's stance and resistance to the party's policies as a major hindrance to his ambition, with George's grandson, David, caught up in the subsequent drama.

Synopsis: Joanne is a woman haunted by her ex-lover, Philip. She is convinced he is stalking her. Then an envelope is delivered, containing nude photographs of her. Angrily she tears them up just before her present boyfriend, Simon, arrives. When he discovers a piece of torn photograph Joanne admits it was Philip who took the shots. Later she also tells her best mate, Hillary, of her fears about Phillip. Back at Joanne's flat, a parcel is delivered. Joanne refuses to open it, believing it to be from Phillip and Simon opens it. With horror he sees what appears to be a penis in the package. It is in fact a moulded rubber one which Philips has made. Later Phillip tells us about Joanne's penchant for casts. How she progressed from hand casts in plaster to casts of her various 'conquests'. Finally we are in Joanne's flat. Philip walks into the room. It is obvious that neither Joanne nor Simon see him. When he comes behind Joanne and touches her she screams but still doesn't see him. Despite her pleas, Simon tells her he has to go. When Joanne returns to the room, Philip walks to the lightswitch and switches off the light.
