Back Door

Synopsis:
Inspired by Hitchcock's Rear Window, Back Door is the story of Tabitha Montgomery, a ballsy British reporter who has recently broken her leg, and John, her American houseboy, who discover that the new neighbour across the courtyard is filmmaker/dancer/performance-artiste Violette, a cross-dressing enigma. When Violette's dance partner dies, Tabitha is convinced that her neighbour had something to do with it, and sets about trying to prove it. Back Door is ultimately about our sense of ownership of celebrities, and the interpretation of art, as Tabitha becomes increasingly obsessed with a person she can't quite figure out.

Peaceful

Synopsis:
the early 20th century. ethel Charles is an old woman living alone on a grand, labyrinthine estate, hiding from ghosts she believes to be hunting for her. One night, she arranges for her contractor, Mr Coburn, to stay. She has planned a seance with the eminent Mr De Villiers, as she senses her life is coming to an end and resolves to make peace with the dead before she joins them in the spirit world. Ultimately a tale about guilt, faith and the power of fear, Peaceful is an unnerving piece of New Writing by an up-and-coming theatre company.
