Set in a smart, ultra-modern Mayfair apartment full of automated furniture and gadgets with minds of their own, The Mating Game features a celebrity television personality with a reputation as a great stud, but whose romantic interludes are, in reality, always interrupted by accidents, fate, or his own incompetence.

Diana's insurmountable problem is that, during the course of the longest weekend of her life, she finds herself having promised marriage to all three! How can she decide?

Comedy / Characters: 3 male, 3 femaleScenery: Interior This boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where critical acclaim greeted the Apollo Theatre production. Bernard is planing a weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in a French farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's, and has even invited his best friend to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed. "Hurtling along at the speed of light, [this] breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention." Guardian. "Nifty." London Sunday Times
Does God really exist? Are science and religion incompatible bedfellows? Charles Darwin shook philosophy to its foundations with his theory of evolution, yet strangely, he himself refrained from commenting in depth about the religious implications for fear of adding to the furor. But suppose that he did in fact write down his conclusions as a secret addendum to his seminal work, Origin of Species. And suppose his beloved wife, Emma, who kept her own secret journal, was the only other person to know of this hidden postscript. The novel Survival of the Fittest is the modern day story of the search for these two hugely significant works. An eccentric London antiquarian book dealer is hired by an equally eccentric American billionaire to track down the documents for his world famous collection of original manuscripts. The complex investigation ranges across England, from historic towns and stately piles to prisons and Darwin homes, and involves a series of encounters ranging from the criminal to the romantic and the revelatory. Along the way, it explores the spiritual struggle within the extraordinary Darwin household, and the effects of that same struggle on the creators of the atom bomb and on modern terrorists. This dramatic investigation of man's spiritual dilemma occupies the spaces between authors Dan Brown and Richard Dawkins. Robin Hawdon is one of Britain's most prolific playwrights. His plays have been seen in over forty countries. At any one moment there may be over a dozen productions running across the USA, Europe, and elsewhere. This is his third novel.
