Beastly

Synopsis:
A simple hair in the wrong place can send the most mild mannered amongst us into fits of gut-wrenching palpitation. What appears a thing of beauty on a gorgeous head of hair, Madam, is but a thing of revulsion when felt slipping across your tongue. In a secret room a dark experiment unfolds. Splicing Victorian freakshow grotesquery with Gothic scientific experimentation, this sideshow of hairy horrors will take you on a deviant journey from delight to disgust.

Notes:
A work-in-progress written by Deb Jones with Rosana Cade and eilidh MacAskill.

Head in the Jar, The

Synopsis:
It is Nov 8th 1973. A long dark night of the soul. Caitlin Thomas, the Irish dancer, battles her double addiction to alcohol and to her obsessive love with Dylan Thomas, the welsh poet who died on Nov 8th 1953. It is 20 years on from that tragic night but as Caitlin reels back through their descent in to hell, from the hedonism of 1930s London to her isolation and poverty in 1940s Wales, can she survive her painful memories? Will she pick up the drink and face her own destruction or will she confront her demons and stop her mind unravelling again?

Four readings; four new plays; four emerging and established playwrights from Scotland, England, Wales and South Africa. Level by level, a woman games designer plays the game of her life against the trolls who torment her in the virtual world. In a bear pit, six chosen victims are forced to fight to the death. Serving out her sentence, a female lifer battles for the other women around her to choose life. A clown takes a deep breath and steps onto the stage in one of Shakespeares most challenging roles. Performed as script-in-hand readings by an ensemble of professional actors.
