Friday 26th June
"Utopia" by Tom Murray. Directed by Sandy McDougall.
About: What is Utopia? The ultimate dream, or a nightmare disguised as a dream? Are Death and Disease part of who we are whether we wish it or not? I they were no more, would it be a dream, or a nightmare?
--- 20 Minute Interval ---
"And They Danced To Keep Warm" by Tom Murray. Directed by Anne Aldridge.
About: Don't we all want a safer society for ourselves and our families? A society free of crime? Is that even a debate? What would you do to achieve this; sanction or turn a blind eye?
Saturday 27th June
"The Rebel and the Queen" by Thomas McClure. Directed by Scott Cooper.
About: When a royal princess and her secret lover are torn from their pleasant lives and cast into a civil war, the beliefs that bound them together are tested. Can they coexist, or will the crown tear them apart?
--- After Show Drinks ---
Sunday 28th June
"Talking Tea" by Carolyn Yates. Directed by Ken Gouge.
About: The Cosmic Writer conjures Katherine Clerk Maxwell, Emma Darwin, and Sophia Kovalevskaya from different corners of the 19th century for an impossible tea party.
--- 20 Minute Interval ---
"Something To Do With Snakes" by Vivien Jones. Directed by Ken Gouge.
About: Janine desperately wants to be a hairdresser like her gran, Isobel wants each day to pass without incident, and Mrs. Clay wants to mark her birthday by doing something unexpected. When these three aspirations clash, there's bound to be a little chaos.
