Shoot/Get treasure/Repeat: A collection of short plays that explore the personal and political effect of war on modern life. | Over there: When Franz's mother escaped to the West with one of her identical twin boys, she left the other behind. Now, twenty-five years later, Karl crosses the border in search of his other half. | A life in three acts: With honesty, humour and occasional anger, performer Bette Bourne tells the playwright Mark Ravenhill about his life. The story moves from a post-war childhood, to the Gay Liberation Front, life in a drag commune and on to the creation of the ground-breaking Bloolips company and beyond. The piece, in three parts, marks a different series of events in Bette's life to reveal a portrait of an amazing individual and celebration of the momentous struggles and achievements of gay liberation. | Ten plagues: London is infected. The dead fall in the streets. As the plague pits fill, the people of London struggle to maintain a society in the face of overwhelming mortality. Based on eye-witness accounts from 1665 and drawing poetic parallels with modern epidemics, Ten Plagues relates one man's journey through a city in crisis. | Ghost story: A satire of the positive-thinking movement and a moving story of a woman's battle with illness, set in a world where time is fluid and we can talk to the dead. | The experiment: Evokes a vortex of atrocity from fairytales to Mengele and Medea
