Brenton’s history play centers on the 1649 trial and execution of Charles I after the English Civil War.
In 1930s Frankfurt, liberal literature professor John Halder believes he can steer the Nazis toward humane policies. His vanity, careerism, and moral detachment gradually draw him into the party and its crimes, including book burnings, euthanasia experiments, Kristallnacht, and the genocide at Auschwitz, where his Jewish friend Maurice is deported.
Set during the British suffrage campaign from a protest at the Derby to the outbreak of the First World War, the play centers on a love affair between upper-class suffragette Lady Celia Cain and working-class activist Eve Douglas. Repeated imprisonment shapes their relationship and the play’s view of the movement.
Across four acts, Harold Macmillan’s life moves from his youth and First World War service through his political career, the Suez Crisis and his premiership, whose reputation is damaged by the Profumo affair. Macmillan’s younger self remains beside him, commenting on events.
A drama about the 2011 United Kingdom anti-austerity protests.
Recovering from an operation in her decaying Devon home, Judy Haussman gathers her children, granddaughter and other visitors around her. Her attachment to the ideals of the 1960s collides with family resentments, new infatuations and the consequences of an unsettled past.
After their father's death, estranged sisters Isobel and Marion clash over the future of their alcoholic stepmother Katherine, who has been left their childhood home. Katherine joins Isobel's struggling design business, and Marion and her husband invest in its expansion; tensions among the sisters, Katherine, and Isobel's lover Irwin deepen as the venture fails and Katherine's mental health deteriorates.
