First performed at the Lyric Hammersmith Studio in London in 1998, 'Handbag' is an angry, satirical, penetrating play about parenthood, which collides a reimagining of events from Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest' with the life of a newborn baby in the nineties, the child of a lesbian couple and a gay couple, whose familial fantasy about the advantages for a child of having four rather than two parents is shattered by fear and infidelity.

First produced by the Actors' Touring Company in 1997, 'Faust is dead' is about existence: virtual, metaphorical, philosophical and suddenly real. It is a dark, shocking and often brutally funny meditation on our world of virtual reality. Sacked from his university position for announcing the 'death of man' and 'the end of history' on the David Letterman show, the world's most famous philosopher decides to 'live a little'. He wakes in the company of a young man on the run from his father, and they embark on a tense and hedonistic journey across America, in which they discover that the translation from simulation to reality is a shocking one.
