'These plays have a common theme, which is a declaration of optimism in modern youth. They are concerned with the relationship between the young and an older generation - one in which those who are ending their careers can feel confident in handing things over to students. A second feature is that they explore what happens when ordinary people do extraordinary deeds. All are rich in ideas. They are particularly concentrated in their plot in order to contain those ideas within the one-act or monologue format. ' (Publication blurb)
