It is Christmas at the A and E of a Hull hospital; as Keith the security guard stays out of doors to keep an eye on the patients, their families, and the staff, we see an array of people come and go: from drugged-up Stevo to fagged-out Len, each with their own little mini-dramas to be seen. But Kath, the A and E nurse who this time last year lost her husband, is faced with the biggest drama of all, when she unexpectedly receives two tickets for a city-break to Prague. 'Christmas Crackers' was first performed in December 2006 at Spring Street Theatre, Hull.

John Godber's satirical play takes a look at what will happen when climate change finally tightens its grip on the lowlands. Set on the pitches of the rundown Beech Hill Bowling club, we watch across a period of twenty years as the environment disintegrates, and the Yorkshire landscape, both physical and social, is irreparably altered. 'Crown Prince' was first performed in May 2007 at Spring Street Theatre, Hull.

May is moving out. After forty-five years in the same house, age - and the racket from next door - have finally driven her away from the home she made for herself and her family. Her son Jack comes round to help, and as they move their boxes out to the van, we see memories playing out - snapshots of life shown against the backdrop of the changing social profile of the area, from working pit village to Northern sink estate. 'Our House' was first performed in July 2001 at Spring Street Theatre, Hull. This revised version was first performed in January 2008 at Theatre Royal, Wakefield.

Ray is a failed novelist and a failing investigative journalist who is trying to get a commission from the Observer. He has decided to write about human trafficking, and visits a brothel in London to try to get a story. There he meets Anja, a twenty-one-year-old Moldovan woman who was first sold into prostitution when she was sixteen. But Ray finds himself being drawn closer and closer to Anja. As the lines are blurred between reporting and interfering with her life, we are confronted with the uncomfortable truth that slavery is alive and well in modern society. Written for the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade, 'Sold' was first performed in November 2007.
