Plenty
David Hare is often celebrated as being one of the most influential British playwrights of our time. Hare’s writing career began with Slag, in 1970 which won him the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright. His 1978 play, Plenty, which he described as the piece he had “been trying to write for a long time”, found success at the National Theatre and on Broadway. Plenty is being presented as part of a major season of Hare’s works at Sheffield Theatres, which includes productions of The Breath of Life and Racing Demon, as well as several other related events.
Set during the war in occupied France and in post-war Belgium and Britain it spans a timeline from 1943 to 1962, telling the story of former Special Operations agent Susan Traherne. The play starts with a scene from Easter 1962, then goes back to wartime, progressing chronologically to June 1962 and finally slipping back to wartime liberation for the last scene. The action takes place in Knightsbridge, Saint-Benoît, Brussels, Pimlico, Embankment, Whitehall and even Blackpool.

Hungry Ghosts
Top British racing driver Tyler Jones arrives in Shanghai for the Chinese Grand Prix. His life is made up of airports, hotels, racetracks, corporate events and brolly dollies. For Tyler, Shanghai is no different from Bahrain or Melbourne. He's happy to toe the corporate party line as long as he can do what he lives to do: race cars. But when he meets and falls for Chinese dissident Pin-de, their worlds collide. Racing ambition seems suddenly futile set against Pin-de's struggle for survival. How can he square his newfound awareness about the reality of life and death in China, and help Pin-de, without losing everything he has?
Cast: Andres Williams, Lourdes Faberes, Lucy Sheen, Barry Stanton and Benedict Wong.
