This beautifully written play is set chiefly on Lawrence's New Mexico ranch between the years 1922-45, and also in the present. It centres on the extraordinary personality of Lawrence who inspires fierce loyalty in the women around him and love between Freida and Lawrence which survives the conflict of their two strong characters and the pain of Lawrence's last years. This is observed and commented on by a professor and his four studen's, involved both inside and outside the action.-5 women, 4 men

It is International Women's Day in Moscow, 1985. Isolated in a run-down maternity hospital ward seven women tell their own violent and disturbing stories of rape, abuse and oppression. Despite the depressing nature of these stories, however, the enormous strength, vitality and humour of the women comes through. Finally overcoming the patriarchal, authoritative hospital system, their escape is set against the wider background of Gorbachev coming to power in this moving play.

Geraldine and Reg, ageing hippies now trapped in Green Belt respectability by Geraldine's domineering mother, Mrs Carmichael, are giving a dinner-party. Geraldine decides to liven up the evening a bit by impersonating Reg's imaginary brother Rollo, a cad and a bounder. When Reg retaliates by dressing up as Rollo's eccentric wife, Lillian, chaos ensues. Olwen Wymark's suburban comedy is a rebel's fantasy, a hostess's nightmare, and a hijinks treat for its audiences.3 women, 3 men

At the age of twenty, Verity was charged by the police with damaging a chair by fire in the mental hospital were she was a patient. Later, she was committed to Broadmoor "from where she may not be discharged without permission of the Home Secretary." Using a technique of multiple characterization, Find Me seeks to investigate in depth the personality of the young girl - to 'find her' - and at the same time studies the effects of her behavior on those around her.

Amy and Lawrence, whose marriage is on the brink of collapse, invite Cissy to live with them. Gabriel, a friend of Lawrence's arrives, on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Amy's attempts to provoke an emotive reaction from those around her are ineffective. The breakdown in communication is half-resolved and the play ends with Cissy personifying Lawrence's idea of hope as "... a rather plain but really very nice woman of indeterminate age sidling into a room dressed in a pink tutu ..."3 women, 3 men
