“Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'“ Kahlil Gibran

FOUR TRUTHS

Four one act plays

 

A truth about war

FROM PILLOW TO POST

Through the eyes and ears and feelings of Sarah, our everywoman, From Pillow to Post dramatizes not only the First Gulf War, but experiences of War World Two, the Falklands, the Palestinian Intifada, as well as the pervading nuclear threat.

A truth about peace

GRAYE

“The Law is the Word and the Word is Necessity”. This is the credo that Matthew Graye once lived by; it was the doctrine of his employers; it credo of the State, is it is the truth. But now that time is over, the Cold Peace follows the Cold War, and the need for a man like Graye passed.

 

A truth about death

TACITURN

Josie Slade is in a coma. Yet she is the only one who speaks. Others move around her, unhearing. She tells of her life to the only people that are listening, us, the audience.

 

A truth about love

SHE

Phil Garnham loves his wife. Well, he thinks he loves her. He does love her, doesn’t he? It’s just sometimes, he doesn’t understand her, but the truth is… he doesn’t know the truth. Still, there’s a whole lot of ironing to do, maybe he should get on with that.

Love, Death and the

War on Terror

 

BUY NOW 

 

Nothing has been quite the same since 9/11, not because there haven't been wars before, but because The War of Terror is as much a battle of ideas and the mind, as of blood and the body. But what of it? Why should Death have it all its own way? While the terrorists murder and the soldiers die, we, the people, still meet each other, fall in love, and generate enough good in the world to counter and hopefully, in the end, overhaul the evil. In the end, all you need is love.

GLASS

 

BUY NOW

Some say the glass ceiling is now well and truly smashed, but is it really? Trevor Maynard's full-length play examines how work and life interact for men and women in the changing world of office politics; posing the question; "when does the sexy banter and flirting stop, and the serious business of sexism begin?"

 From Pillow to Post

 

1991, UN Resolution 660 condemns Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, but where does the World go from there? More importantly, why? Is it about oil rather than morality? Can war ever be right? Do we, through the United Nations, strive for peace, or find justification for war? Through the eyes and ears and feelings of Sarah, our everywoman, From Pillow to Post dramatizes not only the First Gulf War, but experiences of War World Two, the Falklands, the Palestinian Intifada, as well as the pervading nuclear threat.
