Cecily

Synopsis:
Intense complicated family relationships are put to the test when Cecily becomes brain damaged following a motor-cycle accident and the problems of carers are highlighted. Flashbacks of Cecily before the accident are shown, her lively personality contrasting cruelly with her wheelchair-bound reality.

Destinies

Synopsis:
A pair of one act plays, modified version of Gillian Plowman's Wooden Pear and Beata Beatrix. In the Wooden Pear, Madeleine is a woman whose life is cruelly shattered by a vicious attack. Now, ten years later, she must confront the perpetuator to exact a bizarre form of revenge, only to discover that in many ways Daniel is as much a victim as herself. Now, together they must find salvation from the past. In Beata Beatrix, a chance encounter at an art gallery reveals a man tortured by a guilty past and a woman wracked with insecurity for the future, whose lives subtly mirror Rosetti's famous painting. In two beautiful plays, award winning playwright Gillian Plowman explores themes of mutual dependency and personal redemption with poignant sensitivity, humour and tremendous human insight. A beautiful and thought provoking evening's Drama.

Tonight. . .Charlie Chaplin

Tonight. . .Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin was the very first icon of the silver screen and is one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood. But what of the man behind the moustache? The director holding the camera as well as acting in front of it? The cockney boy beneath the stage make-up? Born into poverty and hardship and in the absence of his father, he spent most of his childhood in and out of orphanages and workhouses. Charlie survived by making himself invulnerable. This exuberance later became part of his screen persona. The Little Tramp always picks himself up and walks jauntily into the distance.
