It ran for a year in the West End, was a hit on Broadway and was filmed by Polanski
Reader, premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, is about a censor who discovers that a novel he wishes to ban is describing his own life

Widows, also first produced by the Traverse, is about the men who 'disappear' under totalitarian regimes and about the women who wait
'A remarkable attempt to dramatise in a semi-mythical way the consequences of recent appalling abuses of human rights' ~ Independent on Sunday
