Rafts and Dreams

<p>Robert Holman is the quiet man among modern British dramatists. But his new play...is an outstanding work that sings with truth (Michael Billington Guardian) <p/><br>Rafts and Dreams: While digging up the roots of a tree in the garden Neil Leo and Hetty uncover a vast underground lake which floods away the world. With Leo at the tiller of his sawn-away living room the trio begin a voyage of the earth's watery surface. It is a surrealist fantasy at its most thought-provoking a play whose best bits manage to work like a dream (Paul Taylor Independent). <p/>Outside the Whale is a fictional account of the writer George Orwell set in the early 30s in which the action moves easily over a period of three years and settings as various as the basement warehouse of the publishers Victor Gollancz a hen-hut in Essex and the dosshouse in Romford.</p>
