Blood Wedding

Synopsis:
Pain and passion are served in equal measures in Lorca's visceral and tragic love story. Set against the backdrop of rural Andalusia, the community spirit has been overshadowed by ongoing family feuds and violence. As desire takes hold of the Bride and her ex lover, vengeance must be sought and the world gets darker still. . .

Pure O

Synopsis:
Drawing on his own and other's experiences of the misconceptions, stigmas and barriers that mental illness presents, Gareth Jandrell, winner of the Tobacco Factory's Script Space 2010, presents a darkly comic look at the realities of mental illness. Razor-blade sharp, jet-black, and as humorous as the gallows can possibly get, Pure O presents a fish eye view of a man fighting a battle no one else can see.

Thebes

Thebes
"I mean, what is Thebes? A theocracy? No. A meritocracy? Certainly not. A monarchy? Kind of. A patriarchy? Less and less so. Thebes is many things, and to revolutionise that? Well, how?". From Oedipus to Antigone, the story of Thebes remains a fascinating exploration of fate, morality and chaos, two and a half thousand years after the saga was originally written. The first domino falls as Oedipus realises he has unwittingly fulfilled a cruel and unusual prophecy. As control of Thebes is handed to Creon, his sons fight each other for the kingdom and his daughter Antigone is determined to serve the honour of her family to the bitter end.

Notes:
weaves together Sophocles and Aeschylus to present the full, visceral and bloody account of the Oedipus dynasty.
