Haircuts by Children, and Other Evidence for a New Social Contract is a practical proposal for the inclusion of children in as many realms as possible, not only as an expression of their rights, but as a way to intervene in the world.
Dramatic theatre doesn’t have much relevance anymore. Or so acclaimed playwright Darren O’Donnell tells us. The dynamics of gently coaxed real-world social interaction, he says, are far more compelling than any play he could produce.
Your Secrets Sleep With Me is a frenetic, ruthlessly hilarious critique of power and politics… Shhh. Don’t worry. Your secrets sleep with me.
Darren’s playscripts White Mice, Who Shot Jacques Lacan?, Radio Rooster Says That’s Bad and Over will challenge your politics, your ontology and everything you hold to be safe, stable and sacrosanct, inoculating you against your self.

O’Donnell’s inimitable rapid-fire style—about the revolution. Which revolution? Good question. A gently aggressive meditation, pppeeeaaaccceee examines our being, asks us what we’re doing and reminds us that there are monsters in here.
