Still I See My Baby

Synopsis:
Children: wanting them; having them; losing them in a world where choice is strictly controlled. An examination of state controlled reproduction. Some are caught in the cogs, others can buy out the worst excesses through the free market. In all instances the pursuit of human perfection is driving a seductive evil.

Notes:
Currently being translated for production in Paris by Sophie Magnaud.

Unrelated

Synopsis:
All the things that are good and beneficial in life are subject to change when pressure is applied. How we stand up to this pressure determines who we are as people, and the pressure from within and without can be relentless - imagine your favourite song, how does it move you? What affect does it have on you? Now imagine if this song were playing 24/7 from before you were born, only instead of a melody working on you its societal pressure. How far would you be prepared to listen to it? Would you even know its playing on you? Be careful what you listen to.

Notes:
Unrelated was also produced at CPT, The New Diorama, and The Drayton Theatre.

Voice That Bleeds In

Synopsis:
Black-Out is a new show consisting of three short plays: Ink by Martin Malcom, The Voice That Bleeds In by Dan Horrigan and When We Two Parted by Nathan Cross. Ink is a play that shows how the idea of love and their hidden feelings confuses the minds and lives of teenagers. The Voice That Bleeds In shows us all the hidden feelings and potential resentment that married couples keep inside in order to maintain stability. With When We Two Parted we will discover the secret emotions found in the "mafia" business. Black-Out is a mosaic of several interrelated characters in search of happiness, forgiveness, and peace; their stories taking place on the same night in London. These will be woven into the events of the three different plays to create a single show.
