Uncle Vanya
The retired professor whose return, with his beautiful young wife, to the country estate left by his deceased first wife sets in motion a typically Chekhovian comic tragedy of lost hopes, stifled passions and blighted ideals
Nona
Nona, "the old one", is the 100-year-old matriarch of a city family, whose gluttony reduces her kinfolk to beggary, prostitution and death.
Old Times
Twenty years after they lived together in London, Anna meets up with Kate, who is now married to Deeley. The visit stirs vivid memories in all three, sometimes conflicting, sometimes complementary. But with the memories comes a growing awareness of the gulfs between them.
Top Girls
Marlene celebrates her new position as managing director of the Top Girls Appointment Agency by giving a dinner party for five oddly assorted women from centuries past. But Marlene's own past will throw a question mark over her Top Girls success. The author describes her play as "a celebration of the extraordinary achievements of women".
The Trials of Oz
