Majesty
'Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me....'
Fitzgerald could have been describing Emily Castleton , one of his most fabulous flappers. This arch-type of the poor little rich girl was different from everyone. At twenty-four, Emily's score was one affair, many engagements, and an embittered heart when she settled for Brevoort Blair-the catch of the year.

The Assassin
Tonight's play is a fictional reconstruction of the murder of Kevin O'Higgins, a leading Irish politician who was gunned down on his way to Mass one Sunday morning in 1927. O'Flaherty, in his novel from which this play is adapted, explores the mind of a man who would perpetrate such a crime. The Assassin's anti-hero threw Ireland into an uproar.

Black Exchange
In the early 1920s Germany was in a state of economic chaos, crippled by reparations; the value of the Mark fell until it impoverished the middle-class. One of the victims was Herr Tonn , whose avarice led him to ' sell' his own daughter and steal money to make more on the black exchange. Tonight's play takes place in his pension which houses an assortment of English expatriates, social rejects, and an Irish gunman who finds his salvation in Herr Tonn 's beautiful, but abused daughter.

Thark
