Snuff
Back from Iraq, Billy is in no mood for games. But Kevin is not just playing...
Anderson wrote and directed Snuff as part of the Traverse Theatre Edinburgh's 2005 Festival programme, for which he won the Arches Award for Stage Directors.

Rab's fortunes have declined along with the fishing industry in which he has worked all his life, but now he eyes a glimpse of hope.

The Basement Flat
Fiona and Stephen's tenant has become their landlord and their daughter has taken to living in the overgrown garden, which is creeping into the house as temperatures rise...

Distracted
Avid insect-collector Jamie Purdy and his disintegrating granny are new to the Morayshire caravan park where George-Michael Skinner and his young mother Bunny lives. But this is no ordinary mother and son relationship.
A darkly surreal and richly comic play from Morna Pearson, former member of the Traverse Theatre's Young Writers Group.

The Importance of Being Alfred
Twenty-three years after his affair with Wilde, Lord Alfred Douglas enters a conspiracy with a prominent homophobe...
