A volume of four new plays as part of the RSC's Midsummer Mischief
by Alice Birch, E. V. Crowe, Timberlake Wertenbaker and Abi
Zakarian. The writers had the famous quote by Laurel Thatcher
Ulrich, "Well-behaved women seldom make history" as an initial
provocation and each writer has responded to this line in a unique
and distinctive way. Contents: The Ant and the Cicada by Timberlake

piece of Greek real estate. Owned by two sisters whose lives and
beliefs are at odds, and with debts rising all the time, the
property's future is uncertain. In a Greek tragedy, everybody
loses. Through the struggle between two very different sisters for
control of their family home, Timberlake Wertenbaker's new play
explores why we are willing to let the home of art and democracy
crumble as the rest of Europe looks on. Revolt. She said. Revolt
again. by Alice Birch You are expected to behave... Use the right
words Act appropriately Don't break the rules Just behave This play
is not well behaved Alice Birch examines the language, behaviour

stopping us from doing something truly radical to change them.
Winner of the George Devine Award for Most Promising New Playwright
2014 I can hear you by E.V. Crowe Tommy is dead. It's always tragic
when they die young. People have posted loads of nice stuff on his
Facebook page. His sister Ruth has returned for the funeral and
wants to get it just right. Proper cutlery and a good spread. The
send-off he deserved, and certainly better than they managed when
mum died. The following Sunday Ruth's plans to leave again are
interrupted as the doorbell rings and in walks a still very much
dead, Tommy. E.V. Crowe's naturalistic supernatural play examines
what the possibilities are for the women in Tommy's family, and
questions if it's as easy for everyone to reveal what it is they
want. This is not an exit by Abi Zakarian You wake up, tied to a
radiator. Your hands are bound and there is a bag over your head.
You know you should fight, but you don't know how or against whom.
But you can't have it all: where would you put it? Abi Zakarian's
new play is a funny and ferocious drama about the absurdity at the
heart of modern womanhood, and what really stands in the way of
fulfilment.
