Robert Holman Plays: One
A collection of five plays by Robert Holman.
Making Noise Quietly
A contemporary classic, with each chance meeting overshadowed by war.
German Skerries
It's the hot, humid, sticky summer of 1977. At a popular birdwatching spot jutting out into the North Sea at the mouth of the Tees, Martin, Jack, Michael and Carol are staring out into the future, their lives intertwined. A friendship, a marriage, a holiday, and a death - the gatherings and departures that make us human. Robert Holman's richly resonant play is an uplifting portrait of human hope and vulnerability. German Skerries was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, and won the George Devine Award in the year that it is set. It was revived in 2016 at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in a co-production with the award-winning Up in Arms Theatre Company, followed by a tour around the UK.

The Lodger
Sisters Dolly and Esther grow up in ultra-conservative Harrogate in the 1960s. Fifty years later, following the death of their mother, Dolly comes to stay with Esther - now a successful novelist and living in Little Venice with her younger, inscrutable lodger, Jude. The three go to Norway to meet the rock-star grandfather Jude has only ever heard about. Instead, he meets Anila who changes his world. To make a new future, these four people will have to be honest, heal old wounds - and two sisters learn to laugh together again. The Lodger by Robert Holman is an enlightening, cathartic and acerbic play about identity, maturity and reconciliation. It premiered at The Coronet Theatre, London, in September 2021.
The Two Minute Rule
'Excellent' THE TIMES 'Crais's thrilling narrative oozes suspense. There are twists to keep you guessing' OBSERVER Two minutes can be a lifetime. But break the two minute rule and it's a lifetime in jail. Ask anyone on the wrong side of the law about the two minute rule and they'll tell you that's as long as you can hope for at a robbery before the cops show up. But not everyone plays by the rules. When an aging ex-con finally gets out of jail, freedom doesn't taste too sweet. His son is gunned down in a drive-by shooting. It seems like a random crime, but when the victim is a cop - especially a cop with a con for a father - the motives are never simple. When the hit is exposed as a revenge killing, and the question of police corruption is raised, it becomes a father's last duty to clear his son's name and catch the killer.

Addiction Recovery Tools: A Practical Handbook presents verified recovery tools with a methodical "when and how" approach for each available tool. Including both Western and Eastern methods, the book catalogs the motivational, medical-pharmaceutical, cognitive-behavioral, psychosocial, and holistic tools accessible in a wide variety of settings and programs.

The Natural Cause
Robert Holman's play The Natural Cause is a dark and disturbing portrait of mental illness, and its effects on a young family. It was first performed at the Cockpit Theatre, London, on 27 May 1974. Although written after his earlier play Mud, The Natural Cause was Holman's first full-length play to be staged. A stage direction at the start of the play states that 'The play is an autopsy. It should take place in a mortuary on a white tiled floor.' The dead body of Barry Jackson is wheeled in and a pathologist begins his examination as Lyn Jackson, Barry's mother, recalls what Barry was like as a child. The action proceeds in flashback, with Barry and his pregnant wife Mary on Brighton beach. Barry is a bus conductor, but he'd like to drive the bus one day instead. Lyn keeps telling Mary that Barry's not right, and that she should leave him. But Mary chooses to stick with Barry, as his mental deterioration has frightening consequences. The premiere production was directed by Ron Daniels, and was performed by Natasha Pyne, Nicholas Ball, George Sweeney, Derek Thompson, Maureen Sweeney and Peter Maycock.
Holes in the Skin
Holman's gripping new play explores the nature of violence and possibility of redemption.
