For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue Gets Too Heavy
"Father figures and fashion tips. Lost loves and jollof rice. African empires and illicit sex. Good days and bad days. Six young Black men meet for group therapy, and let their hearts - and imaginations - run wild. For Black Boys... is a profound and playful work from multi-award-winning company Nouveau Riche and playwright Ryan Calais Cameron. This edition was published to coincide with the Royal Court Theatre production in March 2022, following a sold-out premiere run at New Diorama Theatre, London, in October 2021. It was co-commissioned by Boundless Theatre."--Page four of cover.
Graceland
There was a cliff on the horizon. I didn't know, but then again, maybe I did, and I just didn't want to look. She meets him at an old friend's barbecue, ketchup dribbling down her chin, face ruddy from too much beer. He stands away from everyone else, beautiful and aloof. Their stories couldn't be more different, but they flirt, and then they fall in love. Everything is perfect, until it isn't. Or maybe it never was. Ava Wong Davies's new play Graceland was developed as part of an Introduction to Playwriting group at the Royal Court. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs at London's Royal Court Theatre, in February 2023.
Baghdaddy
Congratulations! Your pain is commercially viable. It's 1991 and the Gulf War rages three thousand, three hundred and twenty miles away. Darlee is 8 years old, crying behind the wheelie bookcase in Miss Stratford's classroom. She's just realised she's Iraqi. Or half. Maybe both. She saw it on the news last night after Neighbours and fish fingers. Heard the fear slipping through the receiver, saw it oozing from Dad's eyeballs and into the living room as he tried to phone home. What she can't process now, she'll be haunted by later; the spirits hounding her will make sure of that... Baghdaddy is a playfully devastating coming-of-age story, told through clowning and memory to explore the complexities of cultural identity, generational trauma and a father-daughter relationship amidst global conflict. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre in November 2022.
Sound of the Underground
Ladies, Gentlemen, and then all the legends that have realised gender is a trap – introducing the Sound of the Underground. Out to the electric night, where the base line jumps in the backstreet light and the beat goes round and round. The sound of the underground is the sound of duct tape, lighting cigarettes, jangling tips and a whole lot of chaos. This is not your average night at the theatre. Legends of the London Queer club scene come out from under the gutter to take over the Royal Court Theatre. Expect punk, profanity and a fierce fight about workers' rights written by Travis Alabanza and co-created and directed by Debbie Hannan. Hold for applause. Bring some change. Tip generously. Travis Alabanza's first play for the Royal Court spotlights London's iconic underground club culture and questions what it means to get your money's worth when it comes to art. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre in January 2023.
Mates in Chelsea
But I do have a job. I'm a professional viscount. Things aren't looking good for Theodore 'Tug' Bungay. His mother, Lady Agrippina, has a plan to cut off his funds. His fed-up fiancée wants to drag him up the aisle. An oligarch is eyeing up his beloved Northumberland castle. Is Tug's dissolute life about to change completely? Or will he get to carry on doing exactly as he pleases without ever facing any consequences? Rory Mullarkey's riotous new play takes inspiration from Wilde and Wodehouse to create a contemporary comedy of manners set among the dwellers of south-west London who – somehow – remain our country's ruling class. This edition is published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre, in November 2023.
Communication and New Media

Overflow
"Club toilets have taught me more about sisterhood than any book." Cornered into a flooding toilet cubicle and determined not to be rescued again, Rosie distracts herself with memories of bathroom encounters. Drunken heart-to-hearts by dirty sinks, friendships forged in front of crowded mirrors, and hiding together from trouble. But with her panic rising and no help on its way, can she keep her head above water? From internationally acclaimed writer and one of the UK's most prominent trans voices, Travis Alabanza (Burgerz), comes a hilarious and devastating tour of women's bathrooms, who is allowed in and who is kept out. This edition was published to coincide with its premiere at the Bush Theatre, London in December 2020. The production was the first play to reopen the theatre following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pink Lemonade
Was the juice worth the squeeze? Just when Mika was starting to feel at home in their own body, they find themselves caught between Simmi who's sweet like sugar but ain't a lesbian and Token Toni who loves a bitta bashment and only dates black and brown butches. How can they catch a break when straight women are like junk food? In Mika Onyx Johnson's Edinburgh Fringe 2019 smash hit Pink Lemonade, original beats collide with poetry and movement to create an explosive autobiographical piece of storytelling. This edition is published to coincide with its transfer to the Bush Theatre, London in September 2021.
