Filthy Business

Craig, Ryan
"1968 East London. In a rapidly changing Britain the Solomon family must adapt their business or die. But the competing agendas of each volatile member threaten to tear the whole firm apart. Tough, ruthless, but always devoted matriarch Yetta built her 'empire' from nothing, from a small market stall to a thriving emporium, through sheer grit and passion and against incredible adversity: now she is determined to keep the family together and the business alive. It's proving, however, to be her toughest challenge yet. With warring sons, quarrelling in-laws, mutinous employees, ferocious competitors and the younger generation vibrantly bursting to embrace this brave new world, how far will she go to keep the family in the business and the business in the family? This fiery new family comedy takes a closer look at the entrepreneurial outsiders who became part of the beating heart of modern Britain."--Provided by publisher.

The holy Rosenbergs: a play in two acts

Craig, Ryan
As big-hearted patriarch David clings to a deal that could save both his ailing catering firm and his cherished standing in the Edgware Jewish community, his children are at loggerheads. "You must have heard him banging on about the long line of Rosenbergs, stretching back to the Bible. He reckons some ancient relative catered the Last Supper." While eldest son Danny fights for the Israelis in Gaza, his sister investigates war crimes in the same conflict. Their brother drinks and brawls and refuses to join their father's business. But when tragedy strikes, each family member is forced to confont head-on the clash between individual identity and the demands and expectations of community. The Holy Rosenbergs explores tribal loyalties, the culpability of family and the consequences of standing up for what you believe to be right.
