This collection brings together four of Graham's most successful and entertaining plays, each representing a relationship with a theatre with which he has worked and introduced by the author. One of the plays, Sons of York, has never before been published, but earned James Graham a nomination for the Empty Space Mark Marvin Award.
A History of Falling Things is a gentle love story about a young man and woman forced to confront their fears of the outside world and discover what really matters to their lives.
Tory Boyz is a fast-paced, political comedy about prejudice and ambition in Westminster, looking at homosexuality in the British Conservative party, both today and in the past.
As Ben, self-employed, skint and emotionally vulnerable, begins to stitch together the patchwork quilt that was the Tax Year 2009/2010, he relives a year that was both hilarious and tragic, all mixed up in one shoe box of receipts. The Man is an affectionate and funny portrait of an individual's year-long experience, pieced together from receipts, shopping and commercial transactions.
The Whisky Taster is a contemporary, subtle and witty exploration of feeling and perception in the modern world of advertising, and about seeing things too clearly in a city that never stands still.
Sons of York
Described as 'undoubtedly one of the best new plays of the year' (British Theatre Guide), Sons of York depicts three generations of the same family moving in together in Hull as the Winter of Discontent of 1978 builds up.

time)
made
it
seem
too
complicated
and
too
unfair
to
pass
on
to
a
‘proper’
actor
with
so
little
time.
As
this
wasn’t
a
complete
disaster,
when
it
came
to
mounting
the
show
in
full
at
the
Finborough
in
summer
2010
I
played
the
role
again
alongside
a
handful
of
brilliant,
open
and
patient
actors
–
Samuel
Barnett,
Leander
Deeny
and
George
Rainsford,
who
deserve
a
mention
for
being
brave
enough
to
take
on
the
task
of
going
out
on
stage
every
night
not
knowing
in
what
order
your
emotional
journey
is
going
to
play
out
–
but
all
the
more
rewarding
for
it.
It
is
tempting
for
writers
looking
back
on
their
early
work
to
want
to
edit
out
the
now-perceived
flaws.
But
to
do
this
would
be
to
do
so
for
the
wrong
reasons.
Vanity,
mainly
–
wishing
that
we
knew
then
what
we
know
now,
with
greater
experience,
a
stronger
sense
of
what
we
want
to
achieve
and
how
to
achieve
it.
Maybe.
As
they
stand,
the
works
collected
here
represent
where,
and
what,
and
how
I
was,
when
I
was
writing
them.
As
a
playwright,
you
have
to
make
your
mistakes
in
front
of
people.
That’s
theatre.
And
I
wouldn’t
change
it
for
anything.
