A selection of five plays from the 'Roulette' cycle: 'Inconsolable', 'Borneo', 'Legacy', 'Petroleum', 'Night'.

'Roulette', written by Raimondo Cortese, consists of twelve plays, set in twelve different locations, and are based on themes drawn from an ancient Chinese cosmology called the 12 Branches of Life: desire, travel, fortune, self-expression, marriage, responsibility, health, class and rank, law, business, children, and friendship. The plays focus on the chance meetings of two people in varying situations and provide a revealing mosaic of human interaction across a range of emotional landscapes.
