Carrie's getting them out for the lads, Charlotte's just grateful to have a job, Sam's being asked to sell more than his body, and Aidan's trying to keep his magazine from going under. Set in the cut-throat media world, Lucy Kirkwood's comedy exposes power games and privacy in the age of Photoshop.

A painfully comic excavation of a family history that asks if there is an authorised version of the past - or just the one we can live with.

Halcyon Days
Deirdre Kinahan

A nursing-home conservatory. Sean sits alone, abandoned to his memories. In storms Patricia, a feisty woman with a zest for life and for handsome men in wheelchairs. A wary intimacy develops between the two, an unforeseen relationship, by turns charming and combative, tender and funny.

Love and Information
Caryl Churchill

Someone sneezes. Someone can't get a signal. Someone shares a secret. Someone won't answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone's not ready to talk. Someone is her brother's mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone's never felt like this before. In this fast moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know.

The First Garden
Chris Raja, Natasha Raja

This reflects a maturation of our society, where we are prepared not only to acknowledge but also to reconcile.

A darkly humorous psychological thriller exploring the nature of possession, inheritance and corruption.

Mary Shelley
