"3-Short" is a collection of three short plays ideal for young adults for use in the classroom, acting/theatre competitions and audition. "Un-chatty Cathy: Ten Minute Play." Cathy is an extremely shy high school student desperate to break out of her shell and introduce herself to Zachary, who wants to ask her to the spring dance, but is himself too shy. Cathy's best friend Patsy is a budding filmmaker who decides to film Cathy's journey to meet Zachary as a reality show called "The Wallflower." "Stranger: Ten Minute Play." In a packed New York City coffee shop, Jocelyn seats herself beside a stranger who is also reading the book "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. They begin a dialogue dissecting the book and how it does and doesn't map to a valid philosophy for living their own lives. In the process a romantic connection is nearly made, though they decide it may be best to remain strangers."Anniversary: 5 Minute Play." In a hotel suite, Anne and Stephen meet on the one-year anniversary of their affair together. Anne is upset because her daughter, who goes to school with Stephen's son, was assigned to the role of prisoner in a playground bully's game of concentration camp. Stephen's son was also bullied into playing but in the role of Nazi. Stephen defends his son's position, driving Anne to take a moral stance both on what went down on the playground and on their affair.

'What is remarkable about Alan Ayckbourn's comedy is that it contrives to be simultaneously hilarious and harrowing. Literally, it is agonisingly funny' Daily Telegraph In Three Plays Ayckbourn's perfectly pitched dialogue slices into the soul of suburbia. The settings are simple - a kitchen, a bedroom, a party - but the relationships between the husbands and wives are more complicated. Fraught relationships are exposed with humour, bathos and a sharp understanding of human nature.

"Lorca is one of the few indisputably great dramatists of the twentieth century" Observer Mariana Pineda achieved immediate critical success on its first performance in Barcelona in 1927. The Public is a powerful and uncompromising demand for sexual, and specifically homosexual, freedom - as predicted it was never performed in Lorca's time - it was first performed in this country by Theatre Royal Stratford East in the 80s. Play Without a Title, an unfinished Lorca rarity, realises his wish 'to do something different, including modern plays on the age we live in'.
