    Angel, a spell-bindingly beautiful boy, is plucked from the streets to be the plaything of a wealthy newspaper proprietor. This street-boy turned socialite moves with ease between the worlds of privilege and poverty in 1890s Paris and London. Angel's rapid success turns as swiftly into self-destruction as he is caught in a downward spiral of obsession, money, murder, suicide and white slavery. 'Original Sin' premiered at the Sheffield Crucible Theatre in June 2002.

    When the farm labourer George is cast in an amateur revival of the York Mystery Plays he meets the assistant director John. John wants George to move to London, where he is working in theatre. George's final decision has repercussions for others as well as himself. Peter Gill's 'The York Realist' is not only a finely drawn love story, it also makes us think about the depth of class allegiances, the strength of family, and the origins and ownership of art. It was first performed by English Touring Theatre at the Lowry in Salford Quays in 2001.

    Set in Cardiff's east side, Peter Gill's play offers a vivid portrait of a community the Tories thought they had got rid of, and New Labour would prefer to forget. 'Cardiff East' raises essential questions: What is family value? What does it feel like to be an immigrant in your own country? And most importantly, why don't the Welsh reach for the Armalite? Uncompromising and desperately real, with an undercurrent of ironic humour, Cardiff East builds towards an inexorable climax, which combines hope and tragedy in equal parts. 'Cardiff East' premiered at the National Theatre, London, in February 1997.
