    As a young man, Robert Simon was a first-rate stage-manager in provincial rep. Now he keeps house for his West End actress wife, while amusing himself with lots of little sexual adventures. In fact, a thoroughly happy man. Until one evening, through the clumsy intervention of a psychiatrist, his happiness and his marriage are destroyed. He plans a hideous revenge, both on his wife and on the psychiatrist - a revenge which allows him to discover all his old talents. 'Stage Struck' was first presented in November 1979 at the Vaudeville Theatre.

    Harry is a literary agent, Louise a writer. They are young and happily married and are choosing a house in the country, an idyllic place where she can write, where small children will be happy, and where they can both relax. The local vicar, with some surprising revelations about faith, brings doubt into their smug existence. And, as the play moves on, and everyone grows up or grows older, country life seems to bring less and less joy and peace and proves to be quite the opposite of the idyll they envisage. 'Hidden Laughter' was first presented in June 1990 at London's Vaudeville Theatre

    'Life support' is set in a London hospital room where Gwen Golding lies unconscious, on a life-support machine. Her husband Jeff is a writer: they were on a trip in Guadeloupe when Gwen was stung by a bee and collapsed. Technically she is still alive. The young doctor is a master of the meaninglessly upbeat bedside chat, full of wise saws and the latest instances of miraculous recovery. The awesome air of clinical efficiency and noncommittal optimism cannot hide the fact that nobody knows what to do or what to expect. 'Life Support' was premiered at London's Aldwych Theatre in August 1997

    Charles Dickens, forty-five years old and married, falls passionately in love with Nelly Ternan, an actress almost 30 years his junior. After a long affair which ends only with Dickens' death in 1870, Nelly marries and has two children, but she carries with her thirteen clandestine years to explain away. In 1922, her son resolves to uncover the truth. Inspired by Claire Tomalin's book 'The Invisible Woman', 'Little Nell' is an enthralling play about the great Victorian novelist, his little-known mistress and their legacy. It was first presented at the Theatre Royal, Bath, in June 2007

    'Molly' is a stage adaptation of Gray's earliest television play 'Death of a Teddy Bear', based on the Alma Rattenbury case in which she confessed to her husband's murder, actually committed by her lover, retracted the confession but then committed suicide. Gray based his play, first presented at the Watford Palace Theatre in November 1977, on the effect that the account of the case had on him

    The hero of 'Otherwise Engaged' only prefers brevity when he cannot have complete silence - or rather a silence filled with music. Everything in the play flows from that simple fact. This treacherous relationship between stage presence and page absence was illustrated by the response of the play's first producer who nearly rejected it on the grounds that there was no main part. 'Otherwise Engaged' was premiered at the Queen's Theatre, London, in July 1975

    Despite is basically defeatist and hurtful approach as an unsuccessful British professor attempts to cope with divorce, homosexuality and academia, 'Butley' contrives to be very funny. The stark, unsentimental approach to the homosexual relationship, the cynical send-up of academic life, the sceptical view of the teacher-pupil associations are all stunningly illuminated by continuous explosions of sardonic, needling, feline, vituperative and civilised lines. 'Butley' was first produced in Oxford in 1971

    'Close of Play' is a radical exploration of poetic drama, as an immobile and silent head of family sits as confessor to a quarrelsome family. Its range of operation, its sleight of hand, its command of varying modes of language, its use of monologue and chorus - all this moved it far away from its ostensible naturalism. 'Close of Play' was first performed in the Lyttelton auditorium of the National Theatre, London, in May 1979

    Peter finds the idea of sitting at his desk in a publishing house considerably less attractive than attempting to seduce a free-lance cover designer while his wife is out teaching English to foreigners and shopping at Sainsbury. 'Dog Days' is about the sad and hilarious consequences of Peter's disenchantment with his job, his wife, his public schoolmaster brother and himself. The play is a companion piece to 'Otherwise Engaged' and has the same remarkable blend of wit and pathos, humour and despair. 'Dog Days' was first performed in October 1976 at the Oxford Playhouse

    The newly acquired wardrobe filling most of the living room of the Godboys' decaying house seems unnecessarily large for most purposes. Eric and Doris upstairs could manage without one, surely. Whatever scheme Mr Godboy has in mind, however, he does seem to be going about it the hard way; and it certainly sits oddly with his apparent worship of the police force and all it stands for. It's not entirely clear, either, why he married May Godboy in the first place. There's little satisfaction for her in the relationship. 'Dutch Uncle' was first performed at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in March 1969

    What business have Mrs. Artminster and her son Jerry in the Home Counties that necessitates a long stay in a small-town hotel in the off-season? The explanation they give the proprietor is obviously contrived, but he has his reasons for allowing them to stay. In Simon Gray's first play for the stage - which opened at Wyndham's Theatre in October, 1967 - the truth is complex and its revelation electrifying

    Gray's play 'Otherwise Engaged' was about a man (Simon Hench) who tries to keep the world at bay by pretending it does not really exist. The world nevertheless keeps coming at him as all those closest to him require an explanation for his existence. In 1996 Simon Gray wrote this sequel, in which he explores how Simon Hench responds to the catastrophes and absurdities of his life a quarter century on, when explanations are still being required. 'Simply Disconnected' was first performed at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in May 1996

    'Spoiled', first performed at Glasgow's Close Theatre Club in 1970, is about the tensions in a teacher's home when he invites one of his pupils to spend the weekend before the exam for some last-minute coaching. The over-mothered Donald is a nervous boy anxious to better himself for his mother's sake and to please his teacher. Howarth's natural enthusiasm and flair for getting the best out of dull pupils seem to mask a kind of self-indulgence. Joanna, his heavily pregnant wife, full of unease, begins to see this clearly as the weekend progresses: the realisation only makes her more vulnerable

    As a young man, Robert Simon was a first-rate stage-manager in provincial rep. Now he keeps house for his West End actress wife, while amusing himself with lots of little sexual adventures. In fact, a thoroughly happy man. Until one evening, through the clumsy intervention of a psychiatrist, his happiness and his marriage are destroyed. He plans a hideous revenge, both on his wife and on the psychiatrist - a revenge which allows him to discover all his old talents. 'Stage Struck' was first presented in November 1979 at the Vaudeville Theatre

    An adaptation of Molière's classic, 'Tartuffe' was first performed at The Kennedy Center, Washington DC, in May 1982. Gray's intention was to find, if possible, a completely English play that could pass under the original title, set in the original social and historical context. The Englishness of it was thus a matter of the psychology and the expression. The first entailed the transformation of some of the characters in order that it could be understood why they behave as they do. The second entailed that the characters should speak in a language that expressed the needs and fears of their natures
