Table Manners by Alan Ayckbourn

On a Saturday evening in July, Sarah, arrives with her husband Reg, to his mother's home to give Reg's sister, Annie, a weekend off from caring for their cantankerous invalid mother. Norman, Annie's brother-in-law, a scruffy assistant librarian, who dreams of sexual conquests, also arrives. An exploration of deceit, sex and control soon follow as, that evening, a hilarious scene of false manners ensues. Etiquette and absurdity dominate this "comic masterpiece".

Indivisible by Freddy Syborn

Based partially on Hannah Arendt's account of the trial by the Israeli state of Eichmann, Freddy Syborn's "Indivisible" presents the interrogation of a war criminal whose part in the murder of five million people is as yet unproved. It sets out to question the fictions that are used to justify the authority of those nations who set out to judge and correct other states. Indivisible is a powerful, provocative and exciting piece of new writing.
