Daisies is a straightforward, heart-on-sleeve double monologue for a young couple who become parents of a much-loved and long-awaited baby daughter, Daisy, only to face the horror of losing her in a sudden cot death; the play achieves a real tear-jerking power without ever sliding into soap-opera sentimentality.

Jolly Good Fun takes place in an English Country Garden in the 1920's. The cast were aged between eight and seventeen and takes a light hearted look at the upstairs/downstairs characters. The young girls' chatter revolves around Rupert the dsahing young of quite a few dreams. In the meantime our hero Harry is trying to find a way to meet his grilfriend who works as a maid at the house. Add a fortune telleing session and a Murder Mystery Evening to the pot and you can be sure of some 'Jolly Good Fun'

David Drummond comes midnight courting his true love, Jean; at the house of her swindling uncle, Samuel Pitcairn. With the aid of his manservant Willie, a ladder, a convenient window and a scheming maid, the lovers' plans to elope to a new life away from a post rebellious Scotland to Nova Scotia are temporarily thwarted by Pitcairn's blunderbuss. But the intervention of a heavily disguised Italian portrait painter changes their fortunes.

This is the second of two short, complementary plays, Winners and Losers.
In the first play, the lovers are a young couple preparing for their final school exams and their imminent wedding. The girl is pregnant. Although they promise each other happiness, their deaths by drowning save them from a more likely destiny.
In the second play [this one], the lovers are older, but their passion, at first, is no less real. It is their marriage that brings its share of compromises and unhappiness.
