Bouncers: John Godber - Hull Truck at their best.
Last Playboy in the Wesern World: JM Synge - memorably seen at the Abbey.

I enjoyed them both.

What, no Shakespeare for the CQistas?

How 'bout Luigi Pirandello; best may be "Six Characters in Search of an Author."

For that matter, put "Kaos" on your short list of films to catch this summer!
