Botallack O'Clock Mugs Arrows Stalag HappyBotallack O'Clock
Synopsis:
Botallack O'Clock is a black comedy based on the life and death of the artist Roger Hilton CBE. For the last two years of his life, Hilton took permanently to his bed, where he continued to work, painting over the side of his bed on sheets of paper laid on the floor. A small down-stairs room in his cottage became his bedroom, living space and studio, where Hilton would work through the night with only his thoughts, his imaginings and a temperamental radio for company. Botallack O'Clock is a suspended hour of the night where Roger's past and present combine with vivid his imagination and his tenacious personality, giving a funny, moving and thought- provoking insight into the creative mind of one of the unique voices in post-war British art.

Synopsis:
Mugs Arrows is a surreal black comedy set in very ordinary surroundings - the local pub. With rural areas being forever altered through commercial development and extreme weather conditions and locals disenchanted by a lack of jobs and the ever-increasing allure of a life elsewhere, Mugs Arrows delves in to a world that is on the change. It explores the depths of the human psyche, love, loss, friendship (and darts), leading to hilarious, strange and ultimately disturbing results. Just your average night out down the local then. . .
