Throughout her career she has also written short plays for radio, stage and television, ten of which Churchill has selected for this volume. Only one has been published before and very few have been performed again since their premiere. They range from early radio plays like Lovesick and Abortive, through TV plays from the seventies such as The Judge's Wife and The After-Dinner Joke, to more recent stage plays like Three More Sleepless Nights and Hot fudge. Also included are two that have never been performed: Seagulls and The Hospital at the Time of the Revolution.
