The Collection

The five plays in this collection are unique in many ways. All founded on true experiences, the plays show the complexities of human behaviour and the choices we make. They remind us that our decisions and actions can rarely, if ever, be classified in simple terms of black and white. These creative works challenge us to question ourselves and the society in which we live. In this new edition, the plays are accompanied with discussion topics and Applied Theatre exercises enabling the student and practitioner to have a greater understanding of the Applied process.Once again Hartley puts all her cards on the table with her writing, unafraid to tackle topics others might avoid. Yet she does so with an honesty that never loses its sensitivity and humour. Her compassion and respect for those she writes about is clear on every page of her work.
