This is Andrew Niccol's screenplay for Peter Weir's film. The film sets up a “reality TV” show about an innocent called Truman Burbank, who doesn't even know that his whole life is a carefully scripted fiction, beamed out to millions of viewers around the world. He is the unwitting star and prisoner of a 24-hour-a-day soap opera. When the truth dawns on Truman, he challenges the god-like creator of The Truman Show, and makes his escape into the real world. This is a satire on media manipulation which is both engrossing in its own right and highly relevant to contemporary media trends — and thereby very accessible to young people. Introduction by Peter Weir. (Script: 107 pages)

“United 93” meticulously recreates — in real time — the story of a single flight, from just before take off to its doomed descent. It follows, minute-by-minute the passengers and crew, but also the flight controllers — many played by themselves — who watched with disbelief as United Airlines 93 became the fourth hijacked plane on 11 September 2001. Filmed by Paul Greengrass this dramatic reconstruction drew on tapes of flight control intercoms, as well as hours of interviews with the families of the passengers and crew. The largely unknown actors then used improvisation grounded in these facts. As Greengrass says: “One of the reasons why ‘United 93’ exerts such a powerful hold on our imaginations is precisely because we don't know exactly what happened. Who among us doesn't think about that day and wonder how we might have reacted?” Published in the aftermath of the film, this volume contains the complete Shooting Script plus a range of reviews, essays, notes and credits. (163 pages)

In this screenplay Hanif Kureishi looks at the pains of old age. Maurice and Ian are veteran stage actors whose slow, inevitable decline is disrupted by the arrival in their lives of Ian's niece Jessie. While Jessie's house-keeping skills become a bone of contention between her and Ian, Maurice, on the other hand, finds himself attracted to Jodie and seeks a more intimate relationship with her. The dialogue between them is, by turns, humorous, painful and touching as Youth struggles with Age. Also included in this volume is an Introduction by Kureishi in which he reveals the inspiration for the screenplay in the work of the Japanese master Tanizaki. This volume includes an introduction to “Venus” by Kureishi and and the short story “Weddings and Beheadings”. The film version of “Venus” starred Peter O'Toole, Leslie Philips and Jodie Whittaker. (Screenplay: 107 pages)
