Millicent has been computerised. After a lifetime's work in the
Obituary Department of the Morning Telegraph she has been made
redundant. The firm, however, has allowed her to go out in style -
she can write her last obit in her own hand with her own fountain
pen. But whose last obit will it be? An obscure failure? A giant of
history? A personal friend? An old lover? She plunders her
memories, her fantasies and her long friendship with the daft and
the dead before she makes her decision. Peter Tinniswood's black
comedy won the Edinburgh Festival Fringe First Award in 1998.
Production at the New End Theatre, Hampstead in May 2002
Nancy is at the helm of the unhappy Empson family who, for the sake
of Father's health, move to a small country village. Their new
house is in a state of disrepair, but they find that a local
handyman, Winston, is keen to help them out. He breaks their
resistance to him with his irreverent wit, gourmet cooking, free
repairs and liberal doses of sexual advice. Gradually the family
are transformed by his presence.4 women, 4 men
Plays by one of Italy's greatest dramatists Eduardo de Filippo was
one of Italy's leading popular dramatists, a fearless social
critic, a supreme man of the theatre, and a humane and
compassionate writer. The four plays in this volume present
different facets of his prolific output, which focused on the lives
of the Neapolitan people, their dubious cunning nourished by
centuries of hunger, their fantasies and their love of life. The
Local Authority, Grand Magic and Filumena Marturano are translated
by Carlo Ardito, and Napoli Milionaria was translated by Peter
Tinniswood for the Royal National Theatre's production in 1991.
Divorce Graham asks friends Ernest and Pamela to help out with the
holiday visit of his children. The children are brought by his
ex-wife and her mother, who disapproves of Graham's lifestyle.
Pamela, although childless, has strong views on children and
organizes a party for them. By having the adults play both the
party guests and themselves as children we are given fascinating
and funny glimpses of their pasts, making their scenes as grown-ups
all the more pertinent.4 women, 2 men
