Synopsis:
This hard-hitting anthology series continued the single-play format that had proved so successful with ITV's legendary 'Armchair Theatre', presenting six contemporary plays by writers at relatively early stages in their careers. The plays are both compelling and provocative: Stephen Poliakoff's 'Hitting Town' is an intense portrayal of siblings who find refuge from their bleak lives in one incestuous night; Roger McGough's 'The Lifeswappers' is a darkly comic take on the theme of exchanged identities; Howard Brenton's 'The Paradise Run' centres on an inexperienced soldier in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
