  A fierce and devastating fable about enforced silence - commissioned and premiered by Paines Plough, one of Britain's leading new-writing companies, to open their This Other England season at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London.
  Two houses, each perched on a mountain top, stare at each other across a deep valley. A man and a woman talk about the small things - parquet floor zigzagging down corridors, the memory of mother's breasts, brown sauce and soggy chips. But these minutiae disguise a bigger story of brutality and unfaltering loyalty which emerges horrifically through the chit chat.
  'Walsh once again proves himself an inspired wordsmith' - Daily Telegraph
  'Walsh's beautiful, terrible play... is a small play about the big things and the writing is harrowingly precise and poetic' - Guardian

  Rome, 78 BC. The ruler, Sulla, has just died, and professional mourners have been appointed to wail at his state funeral. But Sulla was hated by the poor and the working classes, and the wailers - led by Macu - threaten to strike, with dire consequences for them and for Macu's daughter...
  Written in vivid, contemporary language, Chris Hannan's modern epic The Baby is about a polyglot, violent city at the heart of a divided nation.
  The play was first produced at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow, in October 1990, directed by Michael Boyd.
  'An epic play humanised by Hannan's concerns for the lives of ordinary people caught up in events seemingly beyond their control' The Times
  'A period epic complete with all the trappings you would expect from the great Elizabethan and Jacobean classicists who wowed their audiences with heightened language, earth-shattering emotion, weighty moral dilemmas, lowbrow comedy and disturbing, bloody tragedy.' Scotland on Sunday
  'Chris Hannan's new play explores love and the grief it can engender when marred by circumstances. And for the fullness of that grief, add in anger and guilt, distraction to the point of self-destruction, and bewildered hurt that makes flesh feel as if skin would burst, it is so uncontainable. The context is Ancient Rome but the issues are timeless and on-going... touching directly on any place or age where ordinary lives are wracked by power politics.' The Herald

  ‘A snake-bite in the gullet’ Martin Boileau 
  Foreword from Sir Anthony Seldon: 
  'Like a fine Prosecco in summer, they trickle easily through your body, leaving you gently uplifted and transported. 
  The author is a brilliant teacher and inspirer of creative writing, a passionate supporter of students and staff, and our very own ‘Happiness Tsar’, responsible for driving forward our pioneering well-being agenda. 
  Many of the poems that follow reveal the author’s rare combination of skill as a writer and deep human sensitivity. To me, perhaps understandably, the poem on the Boss epitomises that combination at its best.'
