Pariah - Two men, both having committed a terrible crime struggle with their guilt.
The Stronger - One is the wife, the other the mistress – but who is the stronger in this classic match between two women in a café on Christmas Eve.
The First Warning - A grotesque and hilarious comedy about love, jealousy and adolescent attraction.
These brand new translations directed by Swedish Marie Parker Shaw were very successfully previewed at the Company's Launch at the Embassy of Sweden in London earlier this year.
