A Number
by Caryl Churchill

Caryl Churchill's extraordinary play, A Number centers around Salter, a father who is suddenly faced with the startling results of his decision to clone a child thirty years earlier. It is unexpectedly revealed that this experiment resulted in "a number" of sons, three of whom now confront him with the consequences of his actions. With unexpected turns, stunning developments and a dramatic examination of the issues of nature vs. nurture, A Number is both an emotionally compelling and intellectually provocative drama.

"Like all Churchill's best plays, A Number deals with both the essentials and the extremities of human experience... The questions this brilliant, harrowing play asks are almost unanswerable, which is why they must be asked."

Cherry Smoke
by James McManus

Fish, a club fighter who has spent most of his life in and out of jail, is a ticking time bomb. His violent outbursts and hair-trigger temper result in countless confrontations with the law. His girlfriend Cherry, a runaway who has been on her own since the age of ten, longs for a more simple life, like the one Fish's brother Duffy and his wife, Bug lead. The all-consuming love Fish and Cherry have for each other is put to the test in this poetic and visceral drama by playwright James McManus.

James McManus is the winner of the 2006 Princess Grace Playwriting Award, and a two-time recipient of the Schubert Fellowship for Dramatic Writing (Carnegie Mellon University).
