    'Outlying Islands', premiered at Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre in 2002, offers a poetic and intense glimpse of an innocence, a way of seeing and a way of being young that is about to be destroyed forever. In 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, two young Cambridge ornithologists arrive on a remote, uninhabited Scottish island, sent by the government to survey the island's birds. With them on the island are Kirk, the authoritarian leaseholder, and his niece Ellen, a young woman in love with the stars of silent comedy. Left alone on a scrap of land surrounded by the vast Atlantic, they observe each other.

    A man is found lying in the snow at the foot of the Pyrenees. He remembers nothing. He believes he is British. A young woman from the British Consulate is dispatched to confirm his nationality and piece together his identity. When Vivienne, a middle aged woman from Edinburgh arrives, she presents him with a history he doesn't recognise. Is he who she says he is? As the snow melts on the mountains the man must decide which reality he will enter - Anna's or Vivienne's? 'Pyrenees' premiered at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow, in March 2005.

    'San Diego' weaves together a series of connecting and diverging stories that stretch around the globe into a single compelling narrative of tremendous scope; stories of illegal immigrants, of pilots, film stars and whores, of the making of 'Band on the Run' and of the playwright himself. It offers a surreal, comic and occasionally nightmarish journey of discovery into the heart of the American dream and our universal longing for a sense of home and community. 'San Diego' first appeared at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, in August 2003.

    Premiered in Bath in 1999, this is an elusive, enchanting play about disconnection in which everything is intricately connected. Two Soviet cosmonauts, losing contact with the world they left behind; a Scottish civil servant in the throes of a midlife crisis; a Norwegian peace negotiator; a Russian erotic dancer; a French UFO researcher and an Edinburgh speech therapist in search of her missing husband are brought together through an extraordinary thread of connections, which bring us into contact with both the intimate and the epic. As messages echo unheard between earth and sky the play explores the incessant search for harmony and peace within all of us.

    'The Speculator' is an intelligent, passionate costume drama with anachronisms about the illusionary quality of wealth, set in Paris in 1720. Europe is in chaos. The French playwright Pierre Marivaux is playing games with love and chance, having an affair with his leading lady. And John Law, a Scot from Edinburgh, is the richest and most powerful man in the world: he has persuaded everyone that pieces of paper are worth more than gold. France has given up on petty metal currency, its wealth based on shares of the new lands in America. As only Law understands the abstractions of his financial system, how long can the dream last? 'The Speculator' was first performed in Catalan in 1999 at the Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona; it was first performed in English at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh in the same year.

    Premiered in Bath in 1999, this is an elusive, enchanting play about disconnection in which everything is intricately connected. Two Soviet cosmonauts, losing contact with the world they left behind; a Scottish civil servant in the throes of a midlife crisis; a Norwegian peace negotiator; a Russian erotic dancer; a French UFO researcher and an Edinburgh speech therapist in search of her missing husband are brought together through an extraordinary thread of connections, which bring us into contact with both the intimate and the epic. As messages echo unheard between earth and sky the play explores the incessant search for harmony and peace within all of us

    'The Speculator' is an intelligent, passionate costume drama with anachronisms about the illusionary quality of wealth, set in Paris in 1720. Europe is in chaos. The French playwright Pierre Marivaux is playing games with love and chance, having an affair with his leading lady. And John Law, a Scot from Edinburgh, is the richest and most powerful man in the world: he has persuaded everyone that pieces of paper are worth more than gold. France has given up on petty metal currency, its wealth based on shares of the new lands in America. As only Law understands the abstractions of his financial system, how long can the dream last? 'The Speculator' was first performed in Catalan in 1999 at the Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona; it was first performed in English at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh in the same year
