Plays & Writers
The five plays performed during this week will be:
Just Another Blue Marble
by Meredydd Barker
Space, the final frontier... There's a spaceship heading to Earth, its crew a little, well, odd. But are they really visitors from another world? This hilarious absurdist comedy with shades of Doctor Who and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Finding Feet
by Sam O'Rourke
What's made you who you are today? The steps you've taken? The falls you've had? Or the Doctor recommended by Jessie J and Nicholas Witchell? A funny, soulful, touching monologue.
The Ongoing Eternal Search For "Da"
by Mari Izzard
Ever feel like you're living in a video game? Levelling up, finding perks, keeping your energy bar high, reset and back the the start. In this dark comedy, relationship drama who will win the blame game? Zelda and Mario meets Whose Afraid Of Virginia Woolf.
Nine Point Two Minutes
by Ming Ho
What can you achieve in 9.2 minutes? Can you really understand someone's problems, or make a diagnosis, or change a life? The underappreciated world of the GP is explored from both sides of the welcome desk in this moving, affecting drama.
Life 2.0
by Matthew Bulgo
An unexpected item is left on the doorstep. But what is it? Why's it here? And should we touch it? When you start asking if inanimate objects are friend or foe there's more to this than meets the eye. A Black Mirror style short mixed with unexpected improvisation...
