An evening of new drama to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the touring theatre company. James Grieve and George Perrin, joint artistic directors, introduce three short plays recorded in front of an audience at the BBC Radio Theatre.
All three are performed by the same core ensemble - Susan Brown, Karl Johnson, Clare Corbett and Bryan Dick, with additional support from Roslyn Hill and Monty d'Inverno.
The first, Nick Payne's Happiness, focuses on married couple Karen and Richard as they attempt to remedy their respective unhappiness with a variety of far-flung undertakings. But can they find a solution closer to home?
In the strange universe of Robin French's Silver Drills, the fortunes of Humbolt Zoo are about to be turned around by the arrival of mysterious and endangered animals - the Silver Drills.
In the final work, Katie Douglas's Reunion, Gary has invited his family around for lunch. However, the reunion turns out to be a far cry from what he was expecting.
