When Zach’s best friend, Micky, begins to spend more time around the house, bonding with Dan and flirting with Marion, even Keira cannot anticipate the depth of Zach’s rage and sense of alienation. Will his repressed feelings culminate in a violent act that is sure to go viral?

Ensure Textscope Placeholder is filled in; eventually dbref tag will need attribute Age of Arousal

This play was inspired by George Gissing's The Odd Woman (1883). The setting is 1885: a time of great passion, great confusion. A population imbalance leaves London flooded with half a million more women than men and an escalating suffrage movement has ushered in a rip-roaring New Age. Mary Barfoot, an ex-militant suffragette, runs a school for secretaries with her beloved Rhoda. The school’s invasion by three spinster sisters and a charismatic cad named Everard, creates a catalyst for political, sexual, and emotional explosion. Ideas and libidos clash for dominance, as each character confronts the meaning of revolutionary courage.

 Ensure Textscope Placeholder is filled in; eventually dbref tag will need attribute Chronic

Ostensibly about chronic fatigue syndrome and the virus that may or may not cause it, Chronic puts one woman’s dis-ease under the theatrical microscope along with various other pathologies of modern life. At first Petra seems familiarly neurotic, a Woody Allen character refracted through George F. Walker. But as Griffiths examines the psychological, social, and sexual dimensions of Petra’s experience in her desperate pursuit of a cure, as well as her medical treatments, her strange dreams, and the peculiarities of her post-industrial workplace, the stage becomes an environmental petrie dish, a fascinating experiment in the ecology of illness.

The Duchess enters the audacious world of Wallis Simpson—from the filth of Shanghai brothels to the regal splendour of Buckingham Palace—shedding light on the infamous woman for whom King Edward VIII would eventually abdicate his throne.

In this collective creation, an under-ground actress struck with a mysterious illness relives her torturous adventures with the Clan of the Dirty Theatre. The dirty theatre is not, nor has it ever been, a real place. It's the place you want to run away to at 14 years old, imagining things in clean rec-rooms, dreaming of escape. The characters too, may seem real, but reality is elusive for the poor mad actress, Trish, who just wanted a job in the end.

Imagine one woman acting out another woman's life before that woman's eyes. Imagine that the woman improvising is white, and the woman watching is Metis. Imagine that the two women collaborate on a play: fight over the plays, do not speak to each other for years, and finally reconcile, recording their tempestuous journey in a book which ends with the play. Essentially that is the process that culminated in Jessica, the work of actress and playwright Linda Griffiths and Metis activist Maria Campbell, author of Halfbreed. The result is a fascinating study not only of the tortuous birth of a magnificent play but of the relationship of two women driven apart and bound together by a maelstrom of internal and external forces.
