An adaptation of the beloved, award-winning children's novel. It's
1940, and Britain is at war. Young Chas McGill has the second-best
collection of war souvenirs in town, but desparately wants it to be
the best. Amidst the bombs and air raids, Chas and his friends plan
their own war effort in their newly built bunker. Friendships are
forged and loyalties tested, in the adventure of a lifetime...
Robert Westall's The Machine Gunners has been read, studied - and
loved - by successive generations of younger readers. It won the
Carnegie Medal and was voted one of the most important children's
novels of the past seventy years. This thrilling stage adaptation
comes from the award-winning playwright Ali Taylor, and premiered
at the Polka Theatre, London, in 2011. It provides rich
opportunities for discussion in the classroom, and for staging by
schools, youth theatres and amateur companies.
A poetic, explosive thriller about three young men on a night out
that ends in violence. In Bromley every Friday night, same time and
place, Potts, Baron and Finch get ready for their weekly dose of
booze, birds and burgers. But their night out takes a dramatic and
terrifying twist when an explosion rocks the town centre, and a
suspicious population points the finger at them. 'Overspill is set
in Bromley, but it could be set in any town anywhere in the UK.
There are hundreds of Bromleys in Britain... These are the towns
that millions of us grow up in.' - Ali Taylor Ali Taylor's play
Overspill was the winner of Metamorphosis 08, a competition
organised by Bromley's theatre, The Churchill. It was first
performed at The Churchill in June 2008, transferring to Soho
Theatre, London, in October 2008.

spiralling living costs, Cathy finds herself in an unfamiliar town
with no friends and no money; pushed to make choices she doesn't
want to make... Candid, poignant and intimate, Ali Taylor's play
Cathy offers a timely reflection on the lives of those at the sharp
end of economic austerity, faced with impossible choices and an
uncertain future. Inspired by Cathy Come Home, Ken Loach's
pioneering television drama, Cathy was first produced in 2016 by
Cardboard Citizens, a theatre company that makes work with and for
homeless people, on a tour of the UK.
