Alice in Wonderland

Synopsis:
At the beginning of the play, Alice is about to marry on the morrow. She is filled with premarital fears, and her mother takes charge and as she comforts and encourages her daughter, sings her to sleep whilst Alice is cuddling her childhood toy, a rabbit. From then on the Lewis Carroll story unfolds as you would expect but with a fantastic speed and a dazzling change of costumes by the very small cast (six of 'em), who, apart from Louise Doherty (Alice), each takes on from four to seven roles as well as a whole pack of cards.

Notes:
written by Pilar Orti and Georgia Bance. From book by Lewis Carroll

Stung

Synopsis:
It begins with a contemporary swing: Sara narrates out of the Madrid cyber cafe where her friends obligingly freeze-frame themselves (while doing cool stuff like checking their email) so she can give us teen TV-style run-downs on their personalities. Soon, they're addicted to virtual reality - a rose in the hair here; a swift retrogression to knee-breeches there, and they're acting out strangely pessimistic, funny and eloquent romantic fantasies on the internet (ie acting extracts from Lorca for the audience).
