    A searingly funny debut play about death, betrayal, and the possibility of forgiveness. And cider.
    Jen's dad was a chat-show host, a national treasure. But now he's dead and Jen's getting spat at in supermarkets. To make matters worse, Uncle Len has made it his mission to help her get over it.
    Hiding from a very hostile world in a very shitty garage, Len and Jen down cider, drown mice, talk crap, mend cats, share painful secrets, tell appalling jokes, and try to work out whether either of them has any kind of future whatsoever.
    Cans premiered at Theatre503, London, in 2014.

    A sharply perceptive, darkly funny riff on urban isolation by one of Scotland's leading playwrights.
    This is a big day for Sadie and Bill; their favourite person is coming to visit. They've gone to great lengths to prepare for the occasion. It's an even bigger day for Jackie; and not one she'd anticipated. Should she make the most of it? She doesn't know if she can any more; too many people depend on her.
    Any Given Day explores our fear of the unknown, and our guilt and responsibility towards ourselves and others.
    'as bold, unnerving and fraught as anything McLean has written' - Guardian
    'an excellent play which truly does horrify on so many levels' - Independent

    Jimmy is thirty-four, lives with his mum and works at Newport's only drive-through doughnut restaurant. Kitty is an adult chatline operator, living in the granny flat of a topiary enthusiast. Things were looking up for Jimmy, but then he loses his job and he begins to disappear, starting with his hands.

    How My Light Is Spent is a funny, hopeful play about loneliness, longing and being left behind.

    Abegail Morley's The Skin Diary confronts loss in its many forms with unwavering and astonishing clarity, an incandescent thread running through every line that makes each alive with fierce and steely energy.
    Here are alert and lyrical poems that hunt out imperfect hiding places, conjure up imaginary sisters and try to contain near-impossible sorrows that spill out of carrier bags and fill up archives. New skins and old disguises are stitched together, the fabric of life tries to hold fast whilst all else unravels and comes apart at the seams. The Skin Diary documents the sometimes fragile and strange windfalls of our days and months; through hard times and thin ice, this journal is bleakly wry, brilliantly focused and brimming with uncanny and discomforting turns of event.
    '...ghostly, visceral, and unflinching poems.' – Penelope Shuttle
    'The Skin Diarysomehow finds words for the ineffable in its search for hope and understanding.' – Martin Figura
    '...here is a poet who can hold her nerve and her entire psychological landscape within each multifariously conceived and consciously humane line.' – Melissa Lee-Houghton
