The Panel by Zinnie Harris is about the power politics underlying the selection of any candidate.

In Pink by Sam Holcroft, a millionaire businesswoman is confronted by an unexpected visitor.

You, Me and Wii by Sue Townsend is set in a council house in a small Leicestershire town at election time.

The plays were first performed at the Tricycle Theatre, London, as part of the Women, Power and Politics season in June 2010.
