Three Oaks, Monica Raszewski , single work drama
'Inspired by writer Monica Raszewski's discovery of letters and notes from an artist's estate, Three Oaks explores the notion of piecing together a life when a person dies. Using a combination of text, music and physical theatre the play takes a journey through the life of Janek, a Polish artist who leaves his young family. Years later, his daughter Margaret seeks to write his biography and by speaking with the women in his life, attempts to piece together her own heritage. In doing so, she stirs old resentments and painful memories.' (Publisher's blurb)
 (p. [1]-34)
Chrysalis, Dina Ross , single work drama

'Annie is on trial for the murder of her three infants. She claims her babies died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and is being defended by Stephanie, a black lawyer. Professor Lawrence Taylor, an expert in cot death, is convinced that Annie is guilty. But is she?'
