Kiss Me Like You Mean It

Kiss Me Like You Mean It
Three A.M. on a hot midsummers night in Manchester. A party taking place in a shabby Victorian terrace house. In the back garden Tony and Ruth meet, thanks to a stolen can of beer. On the floor above, Don and Edie are having a party of their own. As the night progresses, love is definitely in the air  but then so is the smell of cheap lager. And even cheaper aftershave. Kiss Me Like You Mean It was shortlisted for the Meyer-Whitworth Award, and has subsequently been produced in various venues around the world, including a successful three month run in Paris in 2004.

Worst Wedding Ever

Worst Wedding Ever
Rachel and Scott are getting married. They are also buying a house together - never the easiest of things to do at the same time. When the house price goes up, their plans for the dream wedding have to be downsized to the local registry office. Rachel's mother, however, has other ideas. What if the family could join forces and make it a wedding to be proud of? With a marquee in the back garden, a hand-me-down dress, the pub band and two fully functioning Portaloos, surely the day will pass without a hitch?
