They may be mother and daughter yet they are strangers to each
other, still refusing to face what really happened that day. No
wonder they cannot move on with their lives. It takes another
stranger, Cassiel, a passing fisherman to help them disentangle the
weeds that are drowning them. But Cassiel is more than he
appears...A hauntingly beautiful, many-layered tale of love and
forgiveness, played out on an abandoned jetty.

Six very different young women have come on a residential weekend
to see if they have what it takes for the most difficult job in the
world. They are all convinced they are up to it, but as we sit in
on their awkward interviews, disastrous attempts at teamwork and
revealing private conversation, we begin to understand why so few
women really have the calling ... to be a nun. Kat: truculent,
caring. Ann: too eager to please. Caro: restless, rootless. Robyn:
ambitious, impatient. Patricia: friendly, sensible. Stephanie:
mature, withdrawn.
This dramatization of the Bible story gives twenty to thirty 7-10
year olds a chance to practise their acting skills. Miming actions
and props and using their voices for songs and sound effects, they
learn how to relax, stand still and work together as a chorus. The
moral lesson of the play won't go amiss either, as the Noah family
battle with hostility and intolerance from Nasty Neighbours to
create the Ark saving themselves and the Animals from the
Flood.-Large flexible cast
Based on a true event, Silent Night is the heart-warming story of
an ordinary family in extraordinary times: the Blitz. A direct hit
on their Anderson shelter leaves Wilf, Rose, Lily, Jack and their
tortoise Harold awaiting the call to St Peter and the Pearly Gates.
As the night darkens around them, old tensions and new revelations
threaten to blast them apart forever. But dawn rises on a family
united and resolved: wherever they go, they will stay together. St
Peter, it seems, is in for a surprise - and he's not the only one
...
A couple are nervously dressing for a party in the hotel
downstairs. Each glumly despairs of being able to live up to their
partner's expectations. The trouble is that the person they see in
the mirror is very different from the person their partner sees.
She sees herself as a dowdy, boring frump, but he sees her as
charming and kind. He sees himself as the go-getting soul of the
party, but she sees him as a shy, retiring man who just needs to be
loved into fulfilling his real potential. Gradually, they come to
recognize and accept how different they can be now they are loved.
Happily, arm in arm, they go downstairs - to their own wedding
reception.
Love story or ghost story? This warm, wise and witty play shows a
man and a woman meeting, apparently on a park bench, apparently to
say goodbye. But who is leaving and why? It seems that for all
their squabbling they were happily married for a time, until a road
accident landed him in a nursing home. Now he must move away and
she must move on. The final piece in the puzzle is blurted out by a
well meaning but weary nurse. Their goodbyes, alas, remain unspoken
as she flies off to catch her taxi and he remains 'until the memory
fades'.
What advice would you give yourself? Th e hero of this play gets
just that chance. At the point of death he revisits himself as a
teenager, as a young man, as a disgruntled middle-aged husband and,
in the final moments of the play, as a newborn child and the old
man he now will never be.3 women, 3 men
A man facing a protracted terminal illness comes to a deserted
beach, despondent and raging. A mysterious woman tells him of the
place's history: nearby, in the fifth century, Dwynwen,
maid-in-waiting to the queen, deserted her faithless lover to live
alone, away from deceitful humanity. Dwynwen appears with her
nurse, who attempts to coax her home; in enlisting the man's
support she opens his eyes to the love of others, which will help
him through his ordeal.3 women, 1 man
