Betty Blue Eyes
Synopsis:
Belts are being tightened and the country's long-suffering citizens are being told by the government that there will be fair shares for all in return for surviving austerity Britain. Meanwhile local officials feather their own nests by taking far more than their own fair share. It is of course 1947, and having won the war Britain seems to have lost the peace, and the country is staggering under the burden of acute rationing, unemployment and the coldest winter for decades. the only bright spark on the horizon is the impending marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. With a simply marvellous cast of great British actors headed by Sarah Lancashire and Reece Shearsmith, Betty Blue eyes is like no musical you will have ever seen - but she is worth saving up for!

Orion's Hound
Synopsis:
about Skip Hulldecker, an ex-astronaut, who became an "instant" hero by being the fourth man to walk on the moon. Now, ten years later, Skip is forgotten (he still feels like a failure because his Father wanted him to be first on the moon) and he has to deal with his world, his family, and himself coming apart at the seams: a mere payment for the American obsession with success.
