A SECRET IN THE GARDEN
by Jessica O'Toole
When a mysterious companion appears in his quiet garden, a solitary man's world begins to shift - unlocking hidden grief, unexpected magic, and a chance to reshape his life.

ALT-RIGHT PASTORAL
by David Levesley
At Dorset national trust property Wightmare Lacey, the staff are in turmoil: a well-intentioned exhibition on slavery has become the latest talking point for grassroots complainants and the right wing press alike. Higher ups are worried that saying the right thing wrong will be the death of a British institution. Then the property's head of D&I discovers a secret they think could change everything: what if one of the family that owned Wightmare Lacey was a trans woman, lost to time?
Alt-Right Pastoral is a semi-true story of how a national treasure got targeted by MPs, fascists and some of the most powerful people in the world. It's also a story about how the decisions we make in our daily lives decide how history is told for generations to come, whether we like it or not.
Tickets are £3 with an optional donation at checkout.
New Stuff finishes at approximately 7.45pm, but we welcome all to join us for continued conversations in the bar downstairs.
Tickets are strictly limited, so booking in advance is highly recommended. Please note that the event takes place in one of our studio spaces, which is only accessible up a spiral staircase.
