'Category B' is a sharp and hard-hitting play about the brutal power structures of prison life. It is set in a Category B prison, where all offenders are placed after they are first convicted: it is tough, and dangerous, and compelling. Inside C Wing, Thames Gate Prison, it's the screws that have the keys, but all too often it's the prisoners that have the power. Williams's play was first performed as part of the 'Not Black and White' season at the Tricycle Theatre, London, in 2009.

'Seize the Day' is a smart and pacy political drama about Jeremy Charles, a man who could be London's first black mayor. He seems ideal: a well-spoken, good-looking Londoner who made his name on television, and made his way into the hearts of the public by slapping a knife-wielding teenager. He's idealistic too, and determined to make a difference to the lives of underprivileged black children. Jeremy's even invited the teenager, Lavelle, to his house, to mentor him as part of his probation. But he's about to find out that the harsh realpolitik of the campaign and the complexities of real life mean it's not quite so easy to distinguish wrong and right.
