Some Brighter Distance
During the Cold War, German rocket scientist Arthur Rudolph was instrumental in helping America win the Space Race. Rudolph—who directed the German lab that produced the V-2 rocket, and who was implicated in working thousands of slave laborers to death—was the only scientist to face prosecution for war crimes. When he is forced to confront his Nazi history, Rudolph and his wife are cast out of the country he has diligently served for nearly forty years. This time-bending play explores the untold (and true) story of “Operation Paperclip” and questions the cost of burying the past in pursuit of the future.
Frame 312
'A fascinating dramatisation of a conspiracy theory surrounding Kennedy''s assassination. It''s the 1990s, and Lynette, an ex-assistant editor at LIFE magazine, now living in obscurity, has gathered her family around her to celebrate her birthday. She has a secret that she needs to confide in them. In the 1960s, when she worked as an assistant on LIFE magazine, she was an ''unwilling'' witness to the first showing of the (in)famous ''Zapruder'' film about the assassination of Kennedy, which allegedly proved the theory that there was a second assassin. Chosen by her boss to hand over the film to the FBI, Lynette is the last surviving link in this particular chain of mysterious events. Thirty years later and the controversy still rumbles on- Will the retiring ex-Assistant forsake her and her family''s anonymity for the sake of demonstrating this incontrovertible evidence to the world? Frame 312 is published to tie in with the Donmar Warehouse production in March 2002.'

Black Snow
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY TERRY GILLIAM When Maxudov's bid to take his own life fails, he dramatises the novel whose failure provoked the suicide attempt. To the resentment of literary Moscow, his play is accepted by the legendary Independent Theatre and Maxudov plunges into a vortex of inflated egos. With each rehearsal more sparks fly and the chances of the play being ready to perform recede. Black Snow is the ultimate back-stage novel and a brilliant satire by the author of The Master and Margarita on his ten-year love-hate relationship with Stanislavsky, Method-acting and the Moscow Arts Theatre.
