'It's always bad luck for a woman to be on board... no offence.'
Corrina, following in her seafaring father's footsteps, boards a
cargo ship set for Singapore. Not everyone is pleased to have her
aboard - and not everyone will make it to their final destination.

at sea, Chloe Moss's play Corrina, Corrina is a story of power

think no one is watching. This gripping thriller premiered at

Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse, directed by Holly Race Roughan.

A tender portrayal of two women trying to start again after serving

Wide Night was first performed at Soho Theatre, London, in August

'She wanted spontaneity, adventure... I said I can be
spontaneous... I just need a little bit of time to plan.' Peta is
new in town and ready for whatever London has to throw at her.
She's looking for romance, for friendship, for exciting people to
lead her on big adventures. But being an independent woman in the
new millennium isn't easy, especially when there's a constant
reminder of the life you're trying to escape. With each new
encounter, Peta flirts with what might have been, but has the
journey to London put enough distance between her and her past?
Chloe Moss's play How Love Is Spelt is a fascinating and funny

'You can't pick your family but if you could I'd still pick you.'

on, they're almost strangers. When a family bombshell is dropped,
Connie is forced to retrace forty years of sisterhood and confront
a web of secrets and conflicting loyalties. Spanning four decades,
Chloe Moss's play Run Sister Run is a witty and heartfelt story of
family, class and dependence. It was first produced in 2020 by
Paines Plough, Sheffield Theatres and Soho Theatre, directed by
Charlotte Bennett, Joint Artistic Director of Paines Plough.
A spiky play about the clash between suburban and itinerant ways of
life in present-day Liverpool. Bobby, Paul and Ange. Three people,
four walls: the basic recipe for family life. Down the road in
Curzon Park there are no walls, just wheels, and a fierce sense of
belonging that has nothing to do with place. Two ways of life:
yards apart and yet worlds apart. But when Bobby starts skipping
school to hang out with Danny, their friendship forces both
families to look beyond the walls that divide them. Chloe Moss's
play The Way Home was first performed at the Everyman Theatre,
Liverpool, in October 2006.
