Art dealers: parasites or prophets? Simone Allen would prefer to see herself as the latter, but when she is given the opportunity of her career, a chance to sell one of the better Whiteleys, her behaviour becomes less than angelic as the pressure mounts. Driven sometimes by greed, sometimes by aesthetics, Williamson's characters discover how far they will go when more than just a beautiful work of art is 'Up for Grabs' in this sexy comedy of manners. (3 men, 4 women). Sam, the victim of 'Corporate Vibes', is a real estate developer, a self-made man who gets his way by shouting. When his staff mutiny, he finds himself confronted by a softly-spoken mediator and a demand for building which 'delight the eye' -- the stage is set for a vintage farce. (3 men, 4 women).
