Calling

Calling
Six very different young women have come on a residential weekend to see if they have what it takes for the most difficult job in the world. they are all convinced they are up to it, but as we sit in on their awkward interviews, disastrous attempts at teamwork and revealing private conversation, we begin to understand why so few women really have the calling . . . to be a nun.

Just Passing

Just Passing
Love story or ghost story? This warm, wise and witty play shows a man and a woman meeting, apparently on a park bench, apparently to say goodbye. But who is leaving and why? It seems that for all their squabbling they were happily married for a time, until a road accident landed him in a nursing home. Now he must move away and she must move on. the final piece in the puzzle is blurted out by a well-meaning but weary nurse. their goodbyes, alas, remain unspoken as she flies off to catch her taxi and he remains 'until the memory fades.'

Silent Night

Silent Night
Based on a true event, Silent Night is the heart-warming story of an ordinary family in extraordinary times: the Blitz. a direct hit on their Anderson shelter leaves Wilf, Rose, Lily, Jack and their tortoise Harold awaiting the call to St Peter and the Pearly Gates. as the night darkens around them, old tensions and new revelations threaten to blast them apart forever. But dawn rises on a family united and resolved: wherever they go, they will stay together. St Peter, it seems, is in for a surprise - and he's not the only one ...

Strangers

Strangers
they may be mother and daughter yet they are strangers to each other, still refusing to face what really happened that day. No wonder they cannot move on with their lives. It takes another stranger, Cassiel, a passing fisherman to help them disentangle the weeds that are drowning them. But Cassiel is more than he appears...A hauntingly beautiful, many-layered tale of love and forgiveness, played out on an abandoned jetty.
