The three plays were:
Hitler Dances by Howard Brenton
Children playing war games upon a soldier’s grave: from a powerful image, this innovative piece evolves a rich and exhilarating juxtaposition of theatrical styles, utilizing live music and masks, to explore a strange, latent aggression common to adults and children alike.
The Rain by Keni Davidson
I rain, you rain, he rains, she rains, it rains, we rain, you rain, they rain, I am raining, you are raining, he is raining, it can rain, in the future it will rain. To rain or not to rain?
If it had pleased God by Patrick Evans
The story of John Ball, the mad Priest of Kent. When Adam delved and Eve span who was then the gentleman?
These were also performed at the Scottish Student Drama Festival in Dundee later that month.
