Better Together Confessional Lions of England Murdering the Truth Music on a Distant Shore No Occasion ToBetter Together
Synopsis:
A nation decided. A family is divided. Two years on from the vote for Independence in Scotland, Arlene is just as passionate and angry as she was on the day her family voted no. On her eighteenth birthday she announces her own defiant act of freedom. Meanwhile her older sister Shona is pursuing a different kind of independence, when she's left holding the baby whilst her husband is in jail. One family must face the consequences of its personal and political actions, of the promises they made, and decide where their loyalties now lie. Better Together is about the love that binds us together, and the time when we need to break away and make our own lives.

1st Published:
Kevin's a teenager who wants nothing more than a drift through life and the undying love of The One And Only Girl In All The World. But while Kevin sleeps and dreams, his uncle, Father Ignatius, the Man in Black, has other plans for his future. Three actors: nine roles. A fast-moving coming-of-age comedy of priests and teachers, mums and dads, school discos and hormones, and that first swig of beer, and how hard it is to be good when there's girls, oh yes, when there's girls.
