'April in Paris', first performed by Hull Truck Theatre Company in 1992, is a delicately wrought comedy filled with raucous indelicate dialogue. Al and Bet are a married couple, living a monochrome life. Left half-broke by Al's continuing unemployment, the couple bicker about everything from having no hot water to Al's uninspired black-and-white paintings to Bet's obsession with magazine competitions. When Bet finally wins one - the prize being a trip for two to Paris - there is the glimmer of romantic hope for a complete reversal of fortunes.

Ron and Yvonne have gone camping in a caravan bought with Ron's early retirement money. But what they imagined would be an uneventful time to themselves is interrupted when a bull-terrier-breeding, middle-aged former miner pitches up next to them with his 20-year-old girlfriend. Their loud arguments, and even louder love-making, breaks the silence Ron and Yvonne had build around themselves, forcing them to accept situations, and home truths, far outside their comfort zone. Perfect Pitch was first performed in 1998 at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough.

First performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1984, 'Up 'n' Under' is an award-winning comedy set somewhere in the North of England. It concerns an amateur rugby team from the 'Wheatsheaf Arms' who can only muster a side of four whose pride lies in their unbroken record of defeat. It is time for this pitifully unfit set of men to accept the help of a coach - who just happens to be a woman - if they are to ever have any hope of victory.
