What happens when you're in a hole? What happens when that hole's
inside you? What do you do you fill it with to make yourself feel
whole? Last year, 3 teenagers emailed the 20 Stories High Theatre
Company to ask them if they could make a play about their friend
Holly. This is how it unravelled... 3 teenagers: ...So that's our
story and we really want to tell it... and we want to act in it as
well, and play ourselves... cos actors wouldn't really be as
convincing as us... 20 Stories High: It's a very moving story...
but we're really busy at the moment and also, to be honest, you're
not really actors. 3 teenagers: But we really want to tell our
story... it says on your website that "Everybody has a story to
tell... and their own way of telling it..." 20 Stories High:
...well, come back in a year, when we're less busy, and let's
talk... One Year Later... We made the play with them... WHOLE

A modern re-imagining of Hans Christian Anderson's tale, The Ugly
Duckling.
Four plays for audiences and casts of 14+. They deal with issues of
gender, AIDS, disability, relationships with parents, ethnic
strife, crime, drugs and bullying.
Philip Osment's magical play is funny, tender and true. Gabriel has
to earn his stripes as a guardian angel to a poor orphaned girl as
she grows up with her adoptive parents. Along the way he learns
things about his own history and the real reason for his growing
friendship with the little girl. Astonishing theatrical skills,
including puppetry, live music and song combine to create this
wondrous adventure, an unforgettable exploration of the joys and
heartaches of living and loving. A family show for audiences of 6+,
Little Violet and the Angel won the Peggy Ramsay Award and toured
in the spring of 2001.
Award-winning playwright Philip Osment's sad, touching and
sometimes comic story of five friends who journey into the Irish
countryside to scatter the ashes of a friend who died of AIDS.
1988. THATCHER'S BRITAIN. Seventeen-year-old Luke runs away to
London - away from homophobic playground slurs, headlines that
scream 'Don't Teach Our Children To Be Gay' and a family who
wouldn't understand him - to Uncle Martin, who he once saw with his
arms around another man at a march. In the capital, Mark is sacked
because of fears about colleagues working with 'someone like him'.
His boyfriend, Selwyn, faces being beaten up both by the police and
at home by his own stepbrother. Meanwhile, Debbie battles with her
son, who doesn't want to live with her and her girlfriend. And
retired piano teacher Miss Rosenblum - who once found refuge in
this country from a terror that swept away half her family in 1930s
Vienna - has seen this sort of hatred and fear before. Soon, these
individual stories - of first loves and old flames, alliances and
abandonment, missed opportunities and new chances - intertwine to
paint a vivid picture of Eighties Britain. This Island's Mine was
originally performed by Gay Sweatshop in 1988. Now, three decades
after the introduction of Section 28 banning positive
representations of homosexuality, Philip Osment's passionate and
lyrical play, of outsiders, exiles and refugees, is all too
resonant.
On a dilapidated British farm in 1963, Morley is coping with
puberty, the tangles of love within his family, and the desertion
of his mother. He is attracted to Andy, one of the Scottish
hitchhikers who have sought shelter at the farm. All is not,
however, as it seems in this powerful play by the author of Flesh
and Blood and The Dearly Beloved. Morley's habit of telling tales
about his elders hastens a crisis.5 men

Hearing Things explores the dilemmas of psychiatry from the points
of view of patients, relatives and staff. Based on experiences of
psychiatrists and patients, the 'healthy' and the 'ill', the play
examines how and if people heal and recover inside institutions. As
part of the research process, staff and patients at Homerton
University Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital in south London took
part in drama programmes creating characters and improvising scenes
, with clinicians and those receiving treatment swapping roles.
Using a unique collaborative process between patients,
psychiatrists and mental health staff, Playing ON Theatre Company
drew together the stories of those receiving and providing mental
health care culminating in performances at the hospitals and in
theatre spaces. At the Maudsley, as a result of taking part, two
patient's progress was so great that doctors allowed their early
discharge. The script of Hearing Things was informed by these
workshop programmes and by the participants.
