Missing

Synopsis:
"Good morning and welcome. Today our show is all about missing people. That is people who simply disappear and are never found again. But what happens to these missing souls? Have they experienced a sudden bout of amnesia and have forgotten everyone who is dear to them and even who they are? Maybe they have been sucked into some supersonic black hole or a parallel universe? Maybe they have quite spontaneously combusted." Surreal talk show parody about the interwoven lives of three missing women.

Night Of Enquiring Minds, A

Synopsis:
This is a play from a supposedly apathetic generation but if you think that young people today don't care about politics then think again. I scripted the play from the young company's improvisations and discovered that, although they are turned off by traditional political parties and disillusioned by politicians themselves, they have a very clear sense of their own values and broadly share a belief in fairness and equal rights for all. enquring Minds is therefore a warning about the dangers of complacency, apathy and not listening. I care. Do you care? I think we should all care.

Notes:
40 minute comedy satire with sock puppets About politics And young people. Casting very flexible.
