| Synopsis | When Tiberius Pompus arrives from Rome to take up a governorship in the wilderness that is Eastern Britain he is looking for peace and a quiet life. He has every faith in his long-suffering personal assistant, Flavia, and his military commander, Ludicrous. Unfortunately restless locals in the form of the Iceni tribe and in particular the ambitiously troublesome Boudicca prove a thorn in his side. What Tiberius needs least is a visit from newly-appointed Emperor and old school friend, Marcus Antonius, accompanied by the Emperor's girlfriend, the ultra-glamorous and even more ultra-temperamental Queen Cleopatra of Egypt. It is imperative that the Emperor's stay goes perfectly. It doesn't. |

| I've Been Expecting You, Mr Smirk by Geoff Bamber |

| Style | Comedy spy spoof for youth theatre. Lots of locations but not much set! |
| Synopsis | When Anatoly Kazmarov, recently convicted head of international criminal gang STINK, is sprung from a top-security escape-proof prison, it is obvious that someone even more fiendish than Kazmarov is involved. This is clearly a job for The Secret Department's top man, the suave, debonair (but largely inept) Dirk Smirk. It's just as well that the impossibly beautiful Captain Tremaine is on hand to help him out as a plot to bring the world order to its knees gets underway. |
