Ash Grove, The

Synopsis:
A darkly comic new play featuring music and puppetry. A pipe dream seals a group of young men and women in stagnation. Dropping out of society into a state of personal decay they firmly believe that through a period of self-improvement in an isolated farmhouse they will one day re-enter the wider world able to tackle any challenges that they may face with unrivalled confidence and independence. Despite these fantasies, the house has become an arena for power games and manipulation where the permanent residents fall under the charms of Callum: a charismatic and shrewd demagogue. Seemingly invulnerable to Callum's manipulation is Jenkin, who has found himself alienated from his former friends through Callum's rhetorical games. In a final attempt to tame him, Callum takes Jenkin's twin sister as a lover, rekindling Jenkin's memories of childhood and that 'something to do with the past' which maintains his presence in a house where he may not even belong.

Park Keeper, The

Synopsis:
A group of thrill-seeking tourists enter the Red Room for unrivalled pleasures. Meanwhile, a young and energetic man named Talbot has entered the boudoir suffering from a 'modern malady'. He is accompanied by two companions, Finn and Rebecca, who fight and obsess over his affections as he edges closer to death. As beautiful animals escape from the nearby park and enter the house, the lovers encounter Aaron, the park keeper, who bears a remarkable resemblance to their dying friend. Confusion and violence ensue as the lovers and the audience are subjected to the sinister designs of the boudoir's masters of ceremonies: Gabbitas and Catrina.

Notes:
the Park Keeper was written especially for 'the Red Room', An immersive boudoir created by Belt Up for the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe in the style of A boudoir. the Park Keeper was performed daily Along with six other feature shows. the immersive nature of the play meant that Audiences were expected to fill the role of the tourists, And join with the performers in their decadent revelry, And become complicit in sinister Acts of violence. Belt Up received the 2008 Edinburgh International Festival Award for the entire Red Room project.
