70 Hill Lane

Synopsis:
It is ostensibly a reminiscence about Mr. McDermott's youth; specifically, one day when he was about fifteen years old a poltergeist visited his home and wreaked bizarre but temporary havoc on it. around this tale Mr. McDermott weaves stream-of-consciousness musings about his family, his unrequited search for a "beloved," the creation of this play, and the current, cluttered disarray of his existence.

Something Or Nothing

Synopsis:
This is a show about mistaken identity, not just of an individual, but of the human race en masse. employing his trade-mark humour, frankness, vulnerability and wit, and blending video and chalk images with performance, storytelling and stand-up, Dartnell explores this possible error in our perception: that we believe ourselves to be Some-thing, when we might actually be No-thing.

Notes:
Commissioned by Axis Arts Centre, exeter Phoenix And Oval House theatre And supported by Bristol Old Vic's Ferment And Arts Council england. 2007 scratch phase commissioned/supported by Lilian Baylis theatre, Colchester Arts Centre, Lakeside Arts Centre And Merlin theatre Frome.

Spirit

Synopsis:
Three performers play three brothers who break bread together and wait for their story to begin. The performers wait too. And when did a story not happen to three brothers? Spirit takes you to a Improbable world of ugly improvisation, headless puppets, fractured storytelling and visual imagery to find out what happens to three brothers, who are in a simple story that gets complicated when things don't turn out the way they should. If drama is conflict, is conflict still drama when the performers don't agree? That is really don't agree.
