Mark Ravenhill

Freddie and Stuart are an old couple who have been together for decades and bicker constantly. Their lives are turned upside down by their new upstairs neighbor Ash, who is sure to cause trouble in their mundane lives.

A series of ten 10-minute films – some humorous, some dramatic – capturing key in the lives of taxi drivers and their passengers. Among these journeys, a man visits his lover, a gay prostitute goes to work, two girls party on Christmas Eve, an American tourist sees 'real' London, and a cabbie helps a woman in distress.

A historical exploration about the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and the preserved Roman city it left behind.

Captured in "explicit polaroid pictures", the characters of Ravenhill's play are a former social rebel who served time for assassination, his ex–girlfriend who made it "from hippie to yuppie", a nightclub stripper abused by her boyfriend, a gay man dying of AIDS and a sex slave he bought. This is a play about the vicissitudes of love, which, "without knowing shame", can arise from any "bullshit".

A parallel world, 1860. Two teenagers thrown together by a tsunami. One wears next to nothing, the other a long white dress. Neither speaks the others language, but somehow they must learn to survive and forge a new nation. One of the first five episodes also released on terrestrial TV on a 2009 BBC TV series titled "National Theatre Live".

Mark Ravenhill's play, captured live at the Royal Court on 19th March 2009.

An encounter with an unforgettable legend: Bette Bourne, reveals his varied life through a series of interviews, partly based on a theatre collaboration between Bourne and Ravenhill. This is a richly enjoyable exploration of the life of a born performer with some great archive footage and rare photographs. A highly successful career on the London stage was put on hold when Bette discovered gay liberation. But out of a gay drag commune in Notting Hill, Bette fashioned a glorious theatre troupe Bloolips, bringing together a unique blend of costume, camp and musical theatre leavened with sexual politics. The film offers an insight into a passionate and gifted actor who has made a great contribution to gay life, art and politics.
