An evening of contrasts is on offer with these two well crafted one act plays: one a powerful all-female drama, the other a very funny comedy set in teh world of amateur theatre. Join us as we return to the boards at long last!
Can't Stand Up For Falling Down
by Richard Cameron
director: Helen Arbon
Set in a small south Yorkshire town in the 1960s this one act drama tells the powerful story through the interwoven narratives of three women - Lynette, Jody and Ruby - whose lives are linked by their different relationships with the same abusive man: they must break the cycle, but how?
Richard Cameron’s play is a powerful portrait of the strength, perseverance and humour of three individuals all struggling to come to terms with their situations.
The Last Bread Pudding
by Nick Warburton
director: Malcolm Hollister
The Last Bread Pudding is a clever one act play floating between the surreal and the slapstick set in the wonderful world of amateur dramatics! The action takes place around a table where an amateur theatre group's committee is meeting to discuss the performing of a new play.
