Synopsis

A married couple who communicate through an imaginary friend until the friend becomes alive... An anniversary that thrown into disarray by the arrival of the husband and wife s younger selves... A futuristic society in which computer engineers are the new elite, living with surrogate wives and virtual children... Before Robert Shearman wrote for Doctor Who or wrote books of award-winning short stories he was best known for his comedies for the stage. His plays trod a fine line between domestic farce and bizarre absurdism, showcasing the lives of ordinary flawed people thrown into impossible and fantastical situations. Big Finish is proud to present a selection from his best known work: from the macabre Easy Laughter, winner of the Sunday Times Playwriting Award, to his sci-fi comedy Binary Dreamers, winner of a Royal National Theatre prize and Fool to Yourself, directed by Alan Ayckbourn. By turns all seven plays are odd, disturbing, heartbreaking, and very, very funny. THE PLAYS: Easy Laughter White Lies Fool to Yourself Binary Dreamers Knights in Plastic Armour Inappropriate Behaviour Shaw Cornered
