Neurotic Andrea, slobbish Stephen, efficient Hilary and meek Duncan share a flat and, given their very different characters, it is no surprise that they do not get on particularly well.

Four women - all widows - sit in the communal silence of a Quaker Meeting; we hear their thoughts and join with their joys and troubles. Victoria, the most recently widowed, is resigned to never getting answers to her questions. Wendy has kept her home life secret for years. Tilly's husband was far from good to her. Elderly Gladys cherishes the memories of her alcoholic beau. Faith, grief, marriage, love and "Quakerly behaviour" are among the themes discussed in this tender and sometimes humorous short drama.

Charles, a company accountant, has been arrested for shoplifting. When a police officer asks him whether the offence was "a cry for help", he denies it; later, while he is ironing his shirts, he begins to wonder whether, in fact, this first-ever act of rebellion is showing him that, rather than lamenting the loss of his job and the collapse of his marriage, he should be rejoicing - for he is free! "Starch" was first presented in the Arundel Theatre Trail in 2005, winning the Joy Goun Award for Best Play.
