For audiences, they're a cheap and fun night out, with the chance to see new work and share your thoughts directly with the performers!

Stark Raving by Beth Noonan-Roberts
Stark Raving's life is a cycle of Cafe Nero induced epiphanies, bad auditions and nightmare bus journeys. The only thing that soothes is the bog. The bog helps her feel in control. Helps her forget. But in the wake of her reckless need to stuff her loneliness, Stark Raving is forced to face the one thing she is desperate to avoid.
WRITER: Beth Noonan-Roberts | PERFORMERS: Beth Noonan-Roberts & Esme Wright
