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 Stephanie: mature, withdrawn.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 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
