'People always need to eat. If you can cook, really cook, if you
know flavour and taste and texture, people will pay you to do it.
People always need to eat. Always.' They don't seem an obvious
match. Joanne is spikey, defensive, a survivor, whilst Paul is
quiet, considered – and hiding profound grief for his father. But
the pleasure he takes in cooking – and the astonishing food he
prepares – creates a bond between them. So, when the
hotel where they both work closes and they start to
spiral into poverty, it throws everything up in the air – first
the dreams of a cookbook and a restaurant, and, eventually, even
the dreams of a future together… Gareth Farr's play Biscuits for
Breakfast is premiered at Hampstead Theatre in May 2023.
An arresting and angry look at conflict and its effect on soldiers
returning home - to a world they no longer know how to cope with,
and a society that doesn't know how to cope with them. Carl doesn't
fit in at home. He doesn't fit in anywhere. When he signs up for
the Army, he sees it as a way out of his life in Blackpool. But the
Army takes him to Afghanistan. And when he comes home, it's not as
a war hero but as a changed man. Gareth Farr's play Britannia Waves
the Rules won a Judges' Award in the 2011 Bruntwood Prize for
Playwriting. It premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre,
Manchester, in May 2014.
'It's passing on your thoughts, your personality, a part of
yourself, your DNA. If we don't do that, what are we? We're just
dust.' Jess and Dylan are in love. They want a family. That's all
they have ever wanted. This perfectly ordinary couple find
themselves on an extraordinary journey when they enter the world of
IVF. Forced to fight for the family they so desperately want, they
put their faith in science and their relationship to the ultimate
test. A funny, moving and unswervingly honest love story, The Quiet
House was co-produced by Echo Presents, the Birmingham Repertory
Theatre and Park Theatre, London. It premiered at Birmingham Rep in
2016 before transferring to the Park Theatre.
