A Play of Giants
A savage satire on some of the best-known dictators of our time (including Idi Amin); it brings together a group of dictatorial African leaders at bay in an embassy in New York attempting to make decisions together
Its theatrical predecessors include Genet's The Balcony and Brecht's Arturo Ui
From Zia with Love
When the Military decrees that a crime carrying a prison sentence now retroactively warrants summary execution, confusion and fear permeate a society where the brutality and injustice of military rule is parodied by life inside prison
A Scourge of Hyacinths
A play for radio
