With the help of her 'boomer' parents, Sophia takes the giant leap into the property market … but it's all about the fine print. And a global pandemic means a brand new deal.

Mary
Rona Munro

It's 1567. James Melville is an intelligent, charismatic and skilled diplomat – and also one of the most loyal servants of Mary Stuart, the troubled Queen of Scots. Now he needs to decide who's guilty, who's innocent, and who is too dangerous to accuse. Change is coming, but at what price?

RUNT & kerosene
Patricia Cornelius, Benjamin Nichol

Two women, two plays, two powerful voices. This double volume pairs powerhouse playwright Patricia Cornelius, in collaboration with Susie Dee and Nicci Wilks, with rising star Benjamin Nichol in two searing monodramas about women who are dispossessed and dismissed.

Scotland, 1504, seen fresh through the eyes of new arrivals Ellen and Anne, two Moorish women who were expected to take their place at a royal court… but not this one. Both women now have to fight to find and keep a place in the dazzling, dangerous world of the Scottish court of James IV.

Rough Trade
Katie Pollock

Part stand-up, part takedown of capitalism, part wannabe dancing dildo musical, this one-woman play is a celebration of resilience, humour … and sex toys! A thrilling—and sometimes terrifying—examination of the ways capitalism and the patriarchy fail us, and the precarious position all women risk finding themselves in, Rough Trade is ultimately a story of hope in challenging times.

How to Vote
Julian Larnach

When the incumbent President of the University Student Council mysteriously steps down, new players must enter the arena.
