Rats!, a rendition of Robert Browning’s famous poetic account of The Pied Piper of Hamelin,
The Handovera satirical look at the colonial legacy called by Nick Warren
Jasmine’s Jewel by Lionel Newton.
In 2014 the trilogy was reconstructed as a two-man piece with music and renamed for performance as Agreed. The vignettes remain three monologues performed by a single actor, but now included a multi-disciplinary duet between an actor and a cellist.
