Plays for Adults
These plays, even where they were performed at times in schools, were presented to adult audiences.
Talking Balls
Commissioned by Women and Theatre, this was a piece that was performed 'Vagina Monologues'-style, as rehearsed readings. Researched with men in Birmingham and the Midlands , the play explored men's experiences of Testicular Cancer and other related fields. Performed initially on a tour of Football Clubs.
Violent Times
Commissioned by Theatre Absolute, Coventry, Violent Times is a psychological drama, exploring the dying patriarch of a dysfunctional family, confronted by his returning daughter, who is hell-bent on righting the wrongs of the past.
Heads or Tails
Based on extensive research, Heads or Tails follows the important story of Steward Street School in Ladywood, and their remarkable experimental journey, teaching through the arts, as the bombs dropped.
Roy
Based on a true story of the last man hanged at Birmingham Prison, and researched from interviews and court records, the play centres on a young man who is exploring the case of Roy Grey, executed for the shooting of a newsagent in 1962.
