This hard-hitting anthology series continues the single-play format that had proved so successful with ITV’s “Armchair Theatre”, presenting six contemporary plays by writers at relatively early stages in their careers. The common theme is provocative realism: 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 Life Swappers” 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 at the height of the Troubles.
