    It is a few days until Christmas and Harry is waiting for someone to be in touch, for an old lover to have a drink with him, for a friend to show up. But as the big day comes, he falls into lonely and isolated despair. A dark and searing portrait of one man's solitude and its repercussions, 'Harry's Christmas' examines society's hypocrisy at the time of year when emotional pressure is at its highest. It premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in December 1985.

    Julia has been dead nearly 15 years, a brilliant musician with her whole life ahead of her. Why did she have to die? Was it an accident? Suicide? Or something altogether more sinister? Her father Joe is determined to discover the truth about his daughter's death. Obsessed, he will stop at nothing - even if it means trying to reach Julia herself. 'Haunting Julia' was first produced at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, in 1994.

    'Hay Fever', first performed in 1925, tells the story of a busy weekend at a country house, where each member of the Bliss family has invited a guest to stay, without informing anyone else. All four guests are forced into close quarters with the four members of the host family, each one more eccentric than the last. Parlour games turn to rancour; romantic alliances split and reform with flippant ease. As Saturday evening climaxes into a clamour of melodrama, each of the invited guests begin to rue ever accepting an invitation from the inimitable Blisses.

    It is Christmas and that means, at Penwell Special Hospital - or the 'Head-rot Hotel', a psychiatric prison for women - it is time for the patients to put on their best clothes for the Christmas disco. 'Head-Rot Holiday' follows the stories of three women - Dee, Ruth and Claudia - who have each been imprisoned for various crimes, for which their punishment is to be 'treatment'. It was first performed by Clean Break, a theatre company that provides theatre in education to women in prison, at Battersea Arts Centre in 1992.

    As 'Heaven's Blessings' opens, Tobit has just finished digging a grave in the middle of the night. It is illegal to bury Jewish corpses in the city of Nineveh, and so he must bury them in secret, in the meantime concealing bodies in the wardrobe until he can get round to them. Things go from bad to worse when bird droppings fall into his eyes and blind him, but fortunately the angel Raphael turns up to make sure that events follow the correct Biblical course. From an apocryphal book of the Bible, Peter Barnes extracts a charming epic comedy of Tobit, his wife, their schlemiel of a son and a cantankerous guardian angel, who together set out to reclaim an outstanding IOU, overcoming many dangers which test their faith to breaking point.

    While the great Greek hero Herakles was in the underworld completing his divinely ordained labours, above ground, a rival king, Lykos, was busy plotting to murder Herakles' living mortal family. Instead, Herakles' returns just in time to kill Lykos. This is a short-lived redemption, however; after the murder of Lykos, Herakles' descends into madness and murders his own offspring, a madness initiated by an angry Hera, the goddess protector of Lykos. Only the appeal of the legendary king of Athens, Theseus, can bring Herakles back to sanity again, a sanity he reaches only to be realise his actions and be faced with a lifetime of heartbreak and an empty future ahead of him.

    After Herakles' ascension from earth to Olympos, his mortal rival King Eurystheus of Argos (who had devised his Labours) was afraid that Herakles' sons might grow up to contest the throne. He harried them from town to town across Greece, demanding that they be returned to Argos on pain of invasion. The play takes place after the children, led by Herakles' aged mother Alkmene and his equally decrepit nephew and former companion Iolaos, take refuge in Marathon, a town in Attika not far from Athens. The Argives then declare war on Marathon and the Athenians, a war whose victory is underwritten for the Athenians by the decision of Herakles' daughter Makaria, to allow herself to be sacrificed to the gods. The subsequent defeat of the Argives, and the punishment of Eurystheus, defines the second half of the play, which was first produced some time between 430 and 427 BC.

    'Herons' is a sensitive and mournful play about urban disaffection and brutality, a deeply affecting examination of vulnerability and violence. The play is set around Limehouse Cut and the Lee River in East London, by a sluggish and almost-lifeless canal, where 14 year-old Billy fishes every day. As he waits patiently for his usual catches, the miserable history of his life and the canal slowly emerges. 'Herons' premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2001.

    Euripides' play tells the story of Phaidra's love for her step-son Hippolytos, Theseus's illegitimate son, a man so devoted to his chastity and the cult of Artemis that he spurns the goddess of love Aphrodite. To return the insult, she condemns him via his stepmother's passion, causing the subsequent fall of the royal house. A play that at once cautions people not to disregard the strength of the divine, but also illustrates the futility of trying to second-guess its intention, 'Hippolytos' is an astonishing and disturbing tragedy.

    First performed in Northampton in 2010, this darkly comic monologue takes a journey across London towards a late-night epiphany, exploring the lies we tell ourselves and each other and the fallout when the truth is revealed. Moore's excoriating monologue breaks out of the deadlock of everyday life into a very real, relatable and bitingly comic fury of contemporary desperation.

    St. Dymphna's is a halfway house for people with mental illness. On the board of management there sits Evelyn, an MP's wife, who is struggling desperately to make people like her; helping her father round the house, acceding to colleagues' requests and absorbing the stress she is quite obviously feeling, her innermost thoughts voiced to the audience by the otherwise unseen Eve. For it seems that Evelyn is also not well, the spectre of mental illness dogging her as she puts on a timid, polite manner and faces the world as though nothing is the matter. Named after the patron saint of the mentally ill - a girl whose father tried to seduce her then murdered her when she refused - St. Dymphna's Community Group Home becomes not just a place of work for Evelyn, but a safer space in which she can work out the problems afflicting her, and cut right to the source that caused them. 'Beside Herself' was first performed at the Royal Court, London, in March 1990.

    Life has become tough for Crystal: her job is in jeopardy; her house has been repossessed; and her daughter has been taken by social services. It is time for Crystal to get going. But in her effort to get her daughter back and put her life on the right track, Crystal is forced to question just how far she is willing to go to survive. 'Bethany' is the story of a charismatic saleswoman forced to make moral compromises and impossible choices in a tough economic climate. It was first presented in the UK at the High Tide Festival in Halesworth, Suffolk, in May 2012.

    'Bingo' uses the last days of a brooding and unheroic William Shakespeare to accuse art and capitalism of vile inhumanity. Historical evidence suggests that not long before his death Shakespeare agreed to the enclosure of common land near Stratford, which was beneficial to landowners such as Shakespeare, but disastrous for small tenants and the parish's poor. For Bond this incident is laced with damning echoes of King Lear's injustices, and motivates his portrayal of the writer as a bourgeois and apolitical capitalist, more occupied with his profits and rents than with the distress of those who depended on the land. 'Bingo' is a thorny cry against exploitation and passivity. It was first performed in 1973 at the Northcott Theatre, Exeter.

    Tired of the unending wittering of Athenian lawmen, Euelpides and Peithetairos flee the city with their trusty feathered companions. However, their hoped-for exile begins with getting lost, and the play opens with them crowing and pecking at one another with all the fury of the most terminally bird-brained democrat. Which is when they meet 'his Hoopoeness', the once king Tereus, whom they convince to take them up to a new city, high above the base and grounded demos, burying the age-old animosity between birds and men and, ultimately, challenging the mighty Zeus for the top spot in the sky. The play is full of the most bawdy of Aristophanes' jokes, and is rife with the exasperated cynicism typical of the early satirist of the earliest democracy.

    'Black Diamond' interrogates contemporary connections and discontinuities between the Africans in Liberia and African Americans in the US. Set in 1999, the play opens in the middle of the second Liberian civil war, which eventually resulted in the overthrow of despot Charles Taylor and his arrest as a war criminal. At issue in this drama is the question of what should be the responsibility of the US to this war-torn African state racked by genocidal atrocities and human rights violations.

    'Black Mass' is a concise and crucial satire set in a church in Vereeniging, South Africa. As he takes communion, the Prime Minister practises his justification for forcibly moving on a group of black people who have gathered to protest. Bond uses potent imagery and satire to discuss the Sharpeville Massacre of 1960, when police opened fire on a crowd of protestors, killing 69 people. The play originally formed part of a sequence written for the Sharpeville Massacre Tenth Anniversary Commemoration Evening, held by the Anti-Apartheid Movement at the Lyceum Theatre, London, in 1970.

    On the twenty-fifth floor of a monstrous tower block Hector Blavatsky - visionary, architect and patriarch - dominates his family with godlike authority. Fearful of being tainted by the rest of humanity below, the Blavatsky's are in full retreat from the world. But Hector is dying. And when an outsider arrives in their miniature universe the family must finally consider flying the nest and joining `the crushed' - but at what cost? 'Blavatsky's Tower' was first performed at the Lion and Unicorn, London, in April 1998.

    'Blinded by the Light' is a manic black comedy, a madcap farce of drinking, smoking, Mormons, Catholics, transvestites and a saint all crammed into the tiny bedsit of the hapless Mick. Bolger's increasingly surreal comedy is a triumph of riotous humour and sharp observation. It was first produced in 1990 by the Abbey Theatre, Dublin.

    'Bluebird' is a sensitive and melancholy play, composed of brief conversations and lifelong sorrow. Taxi driver Jimmy hears about other people's lives, just for a few moments. In the time it takes to drive them where they want to go, Jimmy hears about walking the streets, lost daughters and changing the lightbulbs by the tube tracks. He is asked whether he believes in ghosts, in love, in the human spirit. And as he drives through the night, the play gets closer to the core of his silences, to the tragedy of his own life, and to where he goes when there's no one in the back seat of his cab. 'Bluebird' was first performed in 1998 at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London.

    It is 1995, it is the Eurovision Song Contest and Lulu's 'Boom Bang-a-Bang' is the soundtrack to this exuberant conjuration of a Eurovision party that starts as camp and ends as farce, though there is a real power to Harvey's discussion of sexuality. Norman the lonely neighbour upstairs is trying every trick in the book to get himself invited to the party, but it is strictly for close friends only. In fact, it's really just for people who knew Michael, Lee's deceased boyfriend, as the couple used to host the best Eurovision parties and Lee wants to honour his memory. But most of his friends have opted for a rival party, and so Lee is left with his sister Wendy, the camp and irrepressible Steph, the gorgeous raver Roy, and the sparring couple Nick and Tanya. And the evening he had planned, full of kitsch, Bucks Fizz and douze points, goes astray amid the covert love affairs, accidental fires, memories and tears. 'Boom Bang-A-Bang' was first performed in 1995 at the Bush Theatre, London.

It is the third play in Bond's 'The Paris Pentad' (originally called 'The Colline Tetralogy'), preceded by 'The Crime of the Twenty-First Century' and 'Coffee', and followed by 'People' and 'Innocence'.
