    Written for Live Theatre in 1977, this bitter-sweet domestic comedy is set in the Newcastle of 30 years or so before that, from the day war broke out to VE Day, and follows the fortunes of the Stott family from Walker. It is firmly rooted in working class life and values, with the somewhat ambiguous position of women in a society which was firmly patriarchal but also, in the North Eastern working class, thoroughly matriarchal.

    In '... And Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi' the world of the Civil War provides the setting in which Greek myth, talking trees, singing rivers, and a moonwalking Jesus combine to interrogate the politics of sex and the body. By disregarding and distorting sacrosanct narratives and images of Christianity and American history, Gardley pushes us to rethink the lessons and limitations of these institutions vis-à-vis our contemporary moment. His inventive and brazen formal approach not only prompts such re-evaluations, but also frames an affecting story whose essence is one of longing, redemption, and forgiveness.

    Set in a coastal town in Norway. Dr Stockmann has discovered that the water supply to the new Baths, on which the whole town's financial hopes are resting, is poisonously contaminated. Expecting a public ovation for his services to public health, he is somewhat surprised when the townspeople attempt to hush up his discovery out of concern for their investment.

    In 1958, actress Coral Browne met a spy in Moscow. And not just any spy - the exiled English spy, Guy Burgess, whom she visits in his seedy flat in Russia's capital. Based on true events, Bennett's play offers a portrait of betrayal and morality that ultimately focuses on one's man desire to be alone and the consequences of that desire. 'An Englishman Abroad' premiered at the Royal National Theatre, London, in December 1988.

    The play is inspired by the painting of the same name by Joseph Wright of Derby, and gives a fascinating life to its seven subjects. Their house buzzes with scientific experiments, furtive romances and farcical amateur dramatics. At the centre is Joseph Fenwick, a scientist of the Enlightenment, studying anatomy and the apparently God-like power of vacuums and air pumps. Living in the house two hundred years later is Ellen, a geneticist working in the ethically-complicated field of foetal diagnostics. It premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre in 1998.

    Albert Stokes, a loner in his late twenties, lives with his emotionally-suffocating mother and works in an office. After being falsely accused of groping a female at an office party, he wanders the streets until he meets a girl, who invites him to her flat, where he responds to her overtures by angrily demeaning her. Then he returns home to his mother. 'A Night Out' was first performed on BBC Radio in March 1960. Its performance on television a month later, on 24 April 1960, was Pinter's first big success as a playwright in that medium.

    'Antebellum' bridges continents to highlight the intractability of love and the power of desire. Set in 1939, amid the cabarets and concentration camps of prewar Berlin and the plantations of post-Civil War Atlanta, the play uses seemingly unrelated historical events to explore the dynamic interplay of race, sexuality, and religion in the production of identity.

    'A Patriot for Me' shows how a young, able and ambitious officer of the Imperial and Royal Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was, through his homosexuality, blackmailed into becoming a spy for Tsarist Russia. When John Osborne wrote 'A Patriot for Me' it was not licensed for public performance by the Lord Chamberlain. In July 1965 the Royal Court Theatre, London, had to be converted into a club for the first production to take place. This volume contains a list of the cuts and alterations requested by the Lord Chamberlain - to which Osborne refused to agree.

    Applying for a job, a young man is given a bizarre psychological test which leaves him gasping, blushing and rolling on the floor in shock. 'Applicant', together with four other Pinter sketches, was first presented on BBC Radio on the Third Programme between February and March 1964.

    '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.

    Sir Anthony Blunt is the director of the Courtauld Institute, London. While cleaning a Titian painting, Blunt has discovered a potential forgery in the Royal Collection. But the painting isn't the only fake - Blunt himself is a spy, the soon-to-be infamous 'fourth man' in the Cambridge Spy Ring. Playing on the concept of fakes, Bennett's drama explores deception, loyalty and artifice in British society, exposing the muddy waters of Cold War era politics and government. 'A Question of Attribution' premiered at the Royal National Theatre, London, in December 1988.

    In 'A Respectable Wedding' (1919) Brecht ruthlessly ridiculed the apparent perfection, false morality, sentimentality and commonness of the petite bourgeoisie. The world of illusionary happiness of the petite bourgeoisie, which reaches its peak with a wedding, collapses in front of the audience as quickly as the groom's handmade furniture, which breaks even before the wedding reception finishes. 'A Respectable Wedding' was the only one of Brecht's early one act plays to be staged during his life. It premiered in Frankfurt in 1926.

    A family gathers for a wedding at the ancestral home in County Donegal, its crumbling edifice testimony to an opulent way of life that's all but finished. As the accusations and demands of their dying father ring out, his wayward, volatile offspring find consolation in reinventing wild and bohemian stories of the big house in its heyday. 'Aristocrats' premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in March 1979.

    First performed in Glasgow in 1964, Arden's three act historical drama is in Scots dialect, with some verse and songs. Although a study of 16th century political intrigue on the Scottish border, it sheds new light on the experience of conscript soldiers at the tail end of colonialism in the 1960s, being partly inspired by contemporary events in the Congo.

    A satirical play, 'Ars Longa Vita Brevis' draws comparisons between education and military conquest, suggesting that the result of both is the suppression of individual expression, and, ultimately, the death of the individual, as seen in the life of the martially-minded art master Mr Miltiades. The free rein the authors give to the possibility for production is in marked contrast to the damning, and ultimately damned, techniques of the protagonist of the piece.

    Serge has bought a modern work of art for a large sum of money. Marc hates the painting and cannot believe that a friend of his could possibly want such a work. Yvan attempts, unsuccessfully, to placate both sides with hilarious consequences. The question is: Are you who you think you are or are you who your friends think you are? 'Art' in this translation was first performed at Wyndham's Theatre, London, in October 1996. In 1998, the play received the Evening Standard and Laurence Olivier awards for Best Comedy and the Tony and New York Drama Critics' Circle awards for Best Play.

'A Slight Ache' was first presented on the BBC Third programme in July 1959. It was first staged at the Arts Theatre, Cambridge, in January 1961, and subsequently at the Criterion Theatre, London.

    'A Song at Twilight' is the first play in the trilogy, 'Suite in Three Keys', in which each play is set in the same Swiss hotel suite. It was written by Coward in 1966, and represents the last of his output for the stage before he died. An earnest moral drama, it concerns an ageing distinguished, petulant, bitchy and truculent writer who has managed to conceal his homosexuality from the world for decades at the cost of warping his talent and cutting off his human sympathies.

    Originally a play for television, transmitted by the BBC in 1962, and now lost, 'A Suitable Case for Treatment' subsequently survived in a 1966 film version entitled 'Morgan'. It explores a familiar Mercer theme, what film-maker Paul Madden called 'social alienation masquerading as madness'. A broad farce in which the main character indulged in 'mad' visions of a retreat to the jungle away from the complexities of his political and personal life, it was innovative in the way it represented Morgan's thoughts and fantasies, his speech patterns and eccentric behaviour.

    It will be a lean Christmas now that the villagers have failed to sell their wares at the market in the town. Glum, they gather in John Mahony's shop-cum-pub to sing songs, drink a little and worry for the season ahead. Among them is Costello, a gregarious man, full of laughter, who has seen the world perhaps a little more than the others and knows how to hold their attention. When a stranger and his wife enter the inn, a peculiar challenge emerges: that he, the stranger, is a better laugher than Costello. Betting begins on this uncanny contest, with stakes so high it becomes a matter of life or death for Costello, for the stranger, and for Mahony in whose house they convive. 'A Thief of a Christmas' was first produced at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in December 1985.

    'Summer Evening': A young couple is staying at a foreign hotel. She loses herself in cold, sensual daydreams, while he tries to express his frustrated longing for her and fails. 'The Youth Hostel': Dick, Helen, Bob and Judy are sitting around with nothing to do. Bob, who's never had a girlfriend, asks to see Judy's breasts. This sets off a wildly pornographic series of confrontations in which no one can avoid saying or doing the first thing that comes to mind. 'Mr Frivolous': A man eats breakfast and delivers a brief, dreamy monologue to a lost lover. 'A Thought in Three Parts' was first performed by the Joint Stock Company in London in February 1977.
