CELEBRATION – In a fashionable restaurant, two gangsterish brothers, formerly from the East End but now “strategy consultants who enforce the peace”, are celebrating a wedding anniversary with their wives, who are sisters. At the next table, a banker is dining with his wife, formerly his secretary. Violent, wildly funny, this play displays a vivid zest for life.

THE ROOM – Rose and Bert rent a room that might almost be a paleolithic cave; the outside is terrifying and unknown. Rose never goes out, and Bert only goes to drive his van with furious aggression. A young couple call, and then a blind black man. Bert comes home, massive with triumph at smashing every car that challenged his van. Finding the stranger, he kicks him to death and Rose goes blind.
