Insignificance: "at first glance it looks like a game of theatrical consequences. What if four icons of Ike's America - Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, Joe DiMaggio and Senator McCarthy - met in a New York hotel room in 1953?…A piece that works on just about every level: the intellectual, the emotional, the playful…one of the landmark plays of the decade" (Guardian); Unsuitable for Adults "Set in the world of pub entertainment in Paddington - lunchtimes of striptease, evenings of the more violent kind of comic routine…it's a very funny play and very clever" (Sunday Times); Cries from the Mammal House: "Set in a small English private zoo and also in the bowels of anyone who has ever had to take responsibility for others…Freewheeling tough, lyrical and thrillingly unpredictable" (Sunday Times)

A collection of play adaptations by one of Britain's best-selling contemporary playwrights THE GRADUATE: California in the 1960s. Benjamin's got excellent grades, very proud parents and, since he helped Mrs Robinson with her zipper, a fine future behind him? THE LONDON CUCKOLDS: Three beautiful wives, three ludicrous husbands and one ambitious rake are the seductive and comic ingredients of this classic Restoration farce. CLEO, CAMPING, EMANUELLE AND DICK: Filming's not as glamorous as it's cracked up to be. It's a miserable business if your caravan leaks, your co-star's a manic depressive, and those younger women aren't so young anymore. "Terry Johnson is that rare creature; a moralist with wit. He writes with responsible gaiety" - Guardian

First published to tie-in with the Royal Court Theatre's production in April 2003, with a cast including Alexander Delamere, Victoria Gay, Fiona Glascott and Rosamund Pike, this is the newly revised version of award-winning Terry Johnson's classic play. A media lecturer and his female prot?g? find some deteriorated Hitchcock footage. It would appear they had discovered some early rushes but what film were they for and who is the mysterious blonde? Hitchcock Blonde is not a play about Alfred Hitchcock, though he may make a cameo appearance. Of the less familiar characters, one is likely to amuse, the other will behave appallingly in a theatrical film noir of genius, lust, death and voyeuristic obsession. 'On the face of it, Hitchcock Blonde is a play about Alfred Hitchcock and women, about sex and desire, and what happens when you have either without the other. It is also a detective story, a biographical fantasy, an intellectual comedy. . . a play about life in films and films in life, about predators and victims?' Sunday Times
