In rural Wales, Ace and Bron are living on the edge. With a house collapsing into the sea, a mother who believes council employees are fairies and a rising body count of dead sheep in the area - it's proving hard to keep a grip on reality. Through the space of one Saturday night, they and their dysfunctional families are propelled towards a resolution that is both shocking and liberating.

First premiered by the Royal Court theatre and the author's own Fiction Factory, Gas Station Angel combines poetic language with colourful fantasy and powerful ensemble drama. Prepare for a swirling blend of rich dialogue and memorable characters in one of Ed Thomas' most beguiling and inventive works.

"Powerful theatre, rich and strange...Thomas at his fizzingly inventive best."

Russia, 1890s. Anton Chekhov is a dying man, although you wouldn't know it. A prolific writer, renowned doctor, social commentator, intrepid traveller and a notorious lothario; it seems that Chekhov is capable of anything - except intimacy.

Nina explores five key years in the life of one of theatre's greatest figures; his relationship with those who flocked to his fame, the influence of his family and his love for the woman who would become the inspiration for his groundbreaking play, The Seagull. In a vivid evocation of Chekhov's world, Adam Meggido's compelling new play presents an anatomy of a writer and an investigation of the processes behind the emergence of art from the complexities of human relationships. Originally developed as LAMDA's 'Long Project' of 2008, Nina now returns to the Academy in its completed version.
