Cow Play, The

Cow Play, The
It's unusual, isn't it, for a girl to grow a tail at my age? Owen can't seem to write, Thom's exhaust pipe is ruined, and Holly is turning into a cow. As the situation worsens Owen is forced to choose between his blunt and exciting friend Thom, or his love for the increasingly bovine Holly. Owen knows the effects Holly's transformation are having on him, but he is scared that if he gives up on the one he loves, he'll be no better than Thom - a man who is the epitome of opportunism and shallow self-interest. The Cow Play is a hilarious, touching and bizarre story, an absurd black comedy about the ethics of trying to save those we love.

Mongrel Island

Mongrel Island
Mongrel Island is a dazzlingly powerful and dreamlike comic play. Marie is losing herself in her grey office existence, trapped by endless piles of paperwork and the same people saying the same things every single day. But as she is forced to work later and later into the night, she discovers a deeply strange twilight world where a new possibility for rescuing her sanity is illuminated by the fluorescent office lights. Commissioned by Soho theatre and written by up and coming writer ed Harris, Mongrel Island explores the mind and memory, offering a perspective of how the workplace can strip away our humanity. Combining madcap, surreal humour with an indictment of the corporate world's subjugation of individualism.

What the Thunder Said

Synopsis:
Beware the Yowlers! They'll find your weakness and take the shape of things you fear. One bite and the nothingness will poison you. Escape the mean streets, bothersome bullies and puzzling parents; it's time to enter the magic underworld and confront the nothingness, time to escape the fists and fights. A new play about the emotional trials children face and how to cope in a challenging world.
