Book Description
Laura Lomas's play Blister is a tense relationship drama which examines the limits of forgiveness and the after-effects of trauma. The play was commissioned and first performed by Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, in collaboration with Paines Plough, at the Bute Theatre, Cardiff, on 1 April 2014, and was subsequently performed at the Gate Theatre, London. It is published as part of the Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series featuring large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to older teenagers and young adults. The play opens with Lisa joining her brother Liam in a park in a Midlands city. Liam is in a bad way: he got a U in a practice paper for his BTEC, has fallen out with some of his friends, and feels powerless at home, where his mum is in an abusive relationship with a new man. He feels abandoned by Lisa, who, Liam has discovered, is on the point of moving out with her boyfriend Ashley. Isolated, drunk, and burning with rage, Liam feels he has nowhere left to turn, except to an act of pointless violence. Then the action skips forward twelve months, and everyone is dealing with the consequences of Liam's moment of madness. The original production was directed by Stef O'Driscoll, and performed by members of the company.

Book Description
There's a hole running through the centre of my stomach. You must have all felt a bit awkward because you can probably see it. Sea Wall is a delicate monologue, completely devastating and beautifully powerful. Alex's story, spoken directly to the audience, begins full of clear light and smiles, as he speaks about his wife, visiting her father in the South of France, having a daughter, photography, and the bottom of the sea. His tone is natural, happy and engaging, with flickers of questions about belief and religion glimpsed under the surface. But his contentment falls away into deep and heart-breaking grief, crumbling to pieces with a vividness that is incredibly moving.

This Game Girl has wreaked havoc on the high seas—but the tide is about to turn… In the Internet virtual reality game Buckling Swashes, Earless Erika and Black Corbin are two of the most deadly pirates to sail the online seas. And now they’ve met their matches: each other. But fearless Earless Erika is really just Amy—a financial analyst with little time in her life for anything but work. And Corbin is none other than the man behind the game—the programmer and owner of the company. He’s intrigued by Amy, the only buccaneer to best him in this test of digital testosterone, while she just wants to take his arrogance down a peg. But soon the two find themselves comrades in arms against a merciless rival bent on Corbin’s destruction—both on the virtual high seas and in real life. Only by setting aside their differences can they locate the actual people behind the swaggering swashbucklers—and along the way find that love can tame even the most fearsome of pirates. Shiver me timbers…

Book Description
Eve Leigh's play Spooky Action at a Distance is a hard-hitting play about anti-immigration sentiment in Britain today. The play was commissioned and first performed by Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, in collaboration with the Royal Court Theatre, London, at the Richard Burton Theatre, Cardiff, on 28 March 2017, and was subsequently performed at the Gate Theatre, London. It is published as part of the Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series featuring large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to older teenagers and young adults. The play's action is set over a few hours on 30 January 2016 in south-east Kent, 'but also right here and right now'. Wendy is on her way to a fascist demonstration in Dover, with a brick in her bag. Later that day, anti-fascist demonstrator Katie is lying in hospital with a head injury, while her friend Elliott tries to help the police with their investigations. Everyone is trying to piece together the truth, but the truth is more complicated than anyone seems to realise. The original production was directed by Elayce Ismail, and performed by members of the company.
