When a well brought up, middle-class girl is filmed having sex with a boy in her classroom, the video clip spreads like a virus. Transmitted from person to person it infects firstly the local community and then seemingly the entire country with a burning moral outrage. The rampant technology of the modern world is set against the natural conservatism of a traditional society. Free Outgoing is the extraordinarily involving story of an ordinary family suddenly thrust into the public eye because of something theyd much rather hide.

Their friends Miles and Bea seem to get on ok too, despite his fondness for the bottle and her inability to decide what colour to paint the kitchen. And they all rather envy Carl and his perfect relationship with his much younger boyfriend. Then, triggered by a small disagreement about changing schools, it all starts to implode. Happy Now? is a painfully truthful, occasionally cruel, yet laugh-out-loud funny comedy of social and sexual manners set amongst the urban, 30-something middle classes.

Obsessed with The Tempest, Nick is convinced that, if only they can find their own Ariel, theyll be able to conjure a storm. When Will arrives, it looks like all the elements are in place but none of them really understand the powers they are about to release. Bruising, charged and spellbound, How To Curse is Ian McHughs first play. It is a fascinating, alarming portrait of three young people dangerously near the edge.
