Three pitch-black comedies from an exciting new writer. A Listening Heaven , which focuses on one family’s painful inability to grieve for a dead son, was first produced in 1999 to critical acclaim at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, where Betts was the resident dramatist. Mummies and Daddies , developed at the RNT Studio, brutally yet hilariously lays bare the soullessness of consumerism. In Clockwatching , produced at both the SJT and the Orange Tree Theatre in 2001, a despotic man descends into helplessness when his servile wife falls seriously ill. With an introduction by Connal Orton.
