Idea 1
Genre: Crime/Violence
A play based upon football violence, and specifically with a certain team or gang linked to a team, for example; Millwall or Birmingham city and the Zulu's.
Consisting of a man, telling his children the story of a specific incident that happened before they were born in a possible flashback scenario. Explaining why it was such a life-changing, life-threatening time in his life and the reason why he gave up being part of the football violence.
I could find ideas of how these situations would sound by using evidence from films such as Green Street and the fight scenes that are in the film;

Idea 2
Genre: Murder/Crime
The play could be be based in a Police interview, and the suspected murderer is interrogated by the police on the dissapearance of a number of women in the west midlands area. There are a number of films/programs that could give me an idea of how police interviews are conducted. I would like to mainly base this play on the TV show 'Appropriate Adult' which was based on the serial killer Fred West and the interrogation of to what he had done and why he had done it.

Idea 3
Genre: Drama
Based on a teenage boy that comes from a very poor area of the city, a poor life at home and at school has pushed him towards a life of drugs and alcohol, until he realises he wants to make more of his life, when he sees the lifes that the rest of his family ended up with. The play follows the character as he tries to make his life better.
The play could be losely based on Trainspotting as it follows a similar storyline.

Idea 4
Genre: Crime
The story of a runaway criminal who is living his life trying to be one-step ahead of everyone else, trying to stay alive and a free-man. He was falsly accused and shows himself to be as innocent as possible but knows that he would not be listened to by anyone else. This could be seen to follow a similar story to the Bourne series which could help give some ideas towards the plot and mannerisms of the runaway criminal.

Or even possibly the film Catch me if you can, which follows the similar storyline of a runaway criminal.
