It's good to meet up with old friends ... or perhaps not When Nigel arranges a reunion in the back room of a pub, he is optimistic of a good turnout. Whilst the numbers disappoint him, he soon has his hands full when a motley middle-aged threesome turn up, bringing with them assorted wives, girlfriends, prejudices, and resentments that have simmered for the last twenty-five years. As the evening unfolds, the men are forced to reassess their old alliances and reflect on their lives, as the women are increasingly struck by the futility of the whole exercise Comedy and confusion combine in this hilarious but poignant story of 'small people' in a 'big world'.

In her early twenties, university-educated Bex took over her mother's hairdressing salon rather than begin a teaching career. Now Bex is approaching 40 and her salon is under fierce competition from a newcomer across the road, precipitating a crisis with Heidi, her friend who works for her. Her husband Max has planned a surprise 40th birthday party for her, though it's not much of a surprise and in fact rather unwelcome. As the two women attend to their clients, I Want That Hair looks without flinching at what turning 40 can mean to someone who has never really been anywhere in their life, and is just beginning to realise that they probably never will.

By geleentheid van die gevierde skrywer Karel Schoeman se 75ste verjaardag in Oktober 2014 publiseer Protea Boekhuis twee televisiedraaiboeke, wat, hoewel hulle geruime tyd gelede reeds geskryf is, nie voorheen gepubliseer is nie. In die voorwoord tot die twee draaiboeke meld Karel Schoeman dat die twee draaiboeke in 1985 ontstaan het, toe daar bewerkings van sy romans verfilm is. Die twee dramatekste sou miskien eerder as leestekste en nie as speeltekste nie beskou kon word, maar Schoeman sluit nie die moontlikheid van verfilming uit nie. Hy skryf verder: “Die betrokke manuskripte het onlangs aan die lig gekom nadat ek gemeen het dat dit lankal nie meer bestaan nie, en word nou gepubliseer soos hulle geskryf is, aangesien dit nie sinvol gelyk het om na verloop van meer as 'n kwarteeu nog daaraan te probeer verander of verbeter nie.” Die eerste van die twee tekste, “'n Vrou wat alleen bly”, speel op 'n klein plattelandse dorpie af. Dit handel oor die raaiselagtige skietdood van 'n geliefde dominee en oor die versteuring van verhoudings tussen mense wat mekaar reeds lank ken wanneer 'n nuweling die gemeenskap binnekom. Die tweede teks, “Hier was huise, hier 'n pad” speel in 1908 af in en om 'n hotelletjie aan die Suid-Kaapse kus. In hierdie draaiboek bevind 'n aantal uiteenlopende karakters hulle toevallig en kortstondig in mekaar se geselskap. Sommige van die karakters reik huiwerig na mekaar uit, maar die verhoudings wat ontstaan, bly vervlietend. Soos in 'n Tsjechow-drama toon Karel Schoeman in hierdie twee tekste watter intensiteit daar in klein menslike gebare, huiwerende gesprek en versigtige uitreik na ander kan le.

These seven short plays by various authors, originally commissioned and produced by the Tricycle Theatre London, explore the nature of the crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan.

This provocative new comedy is about a group of desperate souls who come together in pursuit of a shared dream. It's set in the 'wannabe culture', where everything is possible as long as you want it hard enough, and are willing to pay the price. Natasha is an actress but her latest role is going way too far for her boyfriend Ben. Guru theatre director Gavin is pushing the limits - but despite his reputation as an enfant terrible, he isn't at all what he seems. Fellow actor Danny has a sexual appetite liable to land him in big trouble, while the producer Danielle is worried about the outrage Gavin's production is sure to cause. And Writer Hannah has a story to tell, but does it still ring true? Bad Jazz is a gratuitous farce that exploits and satirises modern theatre, asking the question, 'how far are you prepared to go?'

Heard the one about the Englishman, the Scotsman and the Irishman? This biting topical comedy pokes a finger at ideas of national identity, class and Britain's role in the modern world. Set in a once-grand country manor house now converted into a language school teaching English to foreign students, Queens English looks at the peculiarities and the stereotypes of the English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish and American cultures. The American, a brash New Yorker named Ruby, has recently won the school in a poker game, and now has big plans - including a surprise visit from a Royal guest. But first she has to try and gain control over the four teachers and their different backgrounds as tempers flare while personal and national grudges are brought out into the open, threatening to upstage HRH's imminent visit.

Lynn Nottage's Intimate Apparel is a multi-award-winning play about the empowerment of a black seamstress in New York City in 1905. Esther sews exquisite lingerie for clients who range from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes. She has saved enough to allow her to dream of one day opening a beauty salon for black women, and at thirty-five years old, longs for a husband and a future. When she begins to receive beautiful letters from a lonesome Caribbean man who is working on the Panama Canal, it looks like life may be about to take a different course. Intimate Apparel was first produced by South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, California, and Centerstage in Baltimore, Maryland, in 2003, winning the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play and the American Theatre Critics/Steinberg New Play Award. It received its UK premiere at the Theatre Royal Bath in 2014 before transferring to Park Theatre, London, the same year.
