Playwright Leo Butler begins writing about LSD and meets former government drugs adviser David Nutt, who persuades him to join an LSD trial. The play becomes a comic, associative history of psychedelic experiences, framed by Butler's return home and bedtime story to his daughter.
In overlapping scenes and dialogue, a young man named Liam drifts through contemporary London, buffeted, excluded and intimated by those around him. The play gives voice to his inarticulacy and portrays the aimlessness and alienation of young people living at the margins.
Ten years after leaving their Sheffield flat, estranged spouses Dave and Joanna meet again when she visits wanting a baby. Their reunion becomes a vicious argument and encounter as they reveal the secrets behind their separation and confront debt and family pressures.
In 18th-century Ireland, Lieutenant Coyle’s impending departure for England upends his relationship with a local woman and their two children. Young Dermot, a cattle-killer and Caliban-like figure, becomes the instrument of his mother Maryanne’s revenge against Coyle.
Two former university friends, Nina and Lorna, reunite in a café after many years. The play shifts from their conversation to a Borneo jungle climax, with the comedy exploring motherhood and the relationship between Western humanity and the planet.
In the first part, an older married couple in Sheffield face the bitterness and desperation in their relationship after their son leaves home. A later, nearly silent section takes place abroad a year afterward; the central surreal episode has Sue acting like the couple's dog.
In Sheffield, three brothers and their mother struggle with grief after the father’s death. Gary feels bound to his family, racist Miles loses his building job and is later defrauded by Errol, while unstable Pete begins a relationship with Carol and reenacts masculine rituals associated with his father.
Set over a year in seventeen-year-old Lucy’s Sheffield council flat, the play follows her through a series of disastrous choices. Its dark, often humorous social drama presents Lucy as constrained by poverty yet persistent, with dreams and a defiant spirit that endure.
Debbie and Jack's daughter disappears. The play leaves its setting largely undefined and moves between surreal hyper-reality and naturalism across time, reflecting the couple's state of mind.
