Summary:

In the four-part The Year of the Monkey, Bonfire Night, originally written for BBC Radio 4, tells of a daughter's sweet revenge, Arsehammers of a grandson who is sure that his grandfather's strange disappearances reveal supernatural powers. The Allotment is the story of a quiet group of pensioners who create a radical, anarchic commune by mistake, and the title piece, originally written for BBC Radio 3, tells of a mother yearning for some bad behaviour to puncture the boredom of her middle-class life.

Designs for Living, first produced at the Drill Hall, London, is a powerful, modern love story that challenges conventions of identity and sexuality, while Sodom reveals Old Testament morality alive and well in middle England.
