Chasing Rainbows

Synopsis:
Everybody wants and everybody needs. alice knows this more than most. Because the trouble with alice is she's spent that long thinking about everybody else she's forgotten that she wants and she needs just as much as they do. Maybe it's time she did something about it? Chasing Rainbows carefully juxtaposes the working class reality of a Post-Thatcher Britain with New Labour's carefully polished promise of a new "Cool Britannia" for all. The label is changed, but is the message really that different? Set in Sheffield in 1996, the play is a coming of age drama sound-tracked by the guitar riffs of Britpop. It relays the trials and tribulations of one family's journey as they come to terms with the fact that the challenges of life are best met head on and if at all possible, that they are faced together...

Kafka In The Sink

Synopsis:
Kafka in the sink is a political drama filled to the brim with black comedy, taking a stark look at the reality of the coalitions target driven welfare state. What do you get when you throw rose tinted spectacles, a gob on a stick and a man with a secret into a room full of paint brushes? 2012s version of his Big Society...
