MATE By Nuzhat Jabinh
Have you ever talked to a stranger? Have you ever felt your whole world was balancing on just one moment?
Each time this play, based on actual events, is performed the ending is left to chance, as it was in life, only during the play we won't know how it ends until it does.
Oh, and there's a bomb.
RUBY, ROSE, MERLOT By Destiny
A date goes perfectly. When Qay asks the wrong question, time freezes, and Shani is left alone with everything she’s been holding in.
Through a raw, physical monologue, she unravels her insecurities. When the world unfreezes, the date carries on as if nothing has happened - on the surface at least.
THE GRAND PRIX FOR EXCELLENCE IN PERSONAL RELATIONS By Sam John
Mullund Turnback is a maverick within the public relations sphere, tasked with saving a pharmaceutical giant that stands at the heart of a deadly scandal. With each encounter he faces, Mullund’s charming persona steadily crumbles into disarray and an unyielding will to survive no matter the cost. As his guests, the audience become complicit in Mullands transformation: from a legend of previous PR disasters to a man consumed by the company he serves.
THE MASOCHISTS By Eleanor Boes
Ivy is trying to start her adult life when the most interesting person she's ever met reappears. The two young women travel down a path that was never there for them before, with no idea of what lies at the end of it.
THE BREAK UP By Julian Guassard
We all know the pain of relationship separation. The way it carves a piece of your soul that you'll never get back. And we all know the moment of release, and lightness, when we move forward. This piece humorously meditates on the links between loss and human torment, with deeper motions of the human spirit, art, the voice, birdsong, and the struggle of light and dark within the human spirit.
Tickets: £1
These can only be purchased from the bar on the night. Cash or a card is fine.
