Fish & Chips LateFish & Chips
Synopsis:
Serving up a hot portion of comedy with a pot of dramatic battered bits are Jean and Norman Bakewell; owners of 'The Cod Father' chip shop. Whilst one works hard to keep the business afloat, the other dreams of escape - perhaps to the South of France? Unable to afford another member of staff, Norman works hard everyday to make ends meet, however, Jean has just about given up on the shop and wants out. Jean craves passion, adventure and to feel something other than grease between her toes. Norman, on the other hand, has a new interest in marketing 'The Cod Father' and dreams of global success - well - local success in the form of a chip van. From the get go, they laugh and joke about anything and anyone but it isn't until the harsh words cut deep that they are both feeling neglected and question whether their relationship is as strong as they once thought. Add to the mix Norman's fun-loving brother Grayson (also Jean's old flame) and love begins to blossom, but not in the right direction. So with the discovery of an old love letter and a diary detailing a specific event in the play, the reality of their lives is revealed but is it too late to go back? 'Fish & Chips' is a play about love - lost love and re-evaluating love, of high hopes and crashing dreams, of fearing the future and struggling to survive.

Synopsis:
'Late' is a contemporary psychological thriller set in the heart of the home - the kitchen, during the dark period of social renovation where change is inevitable but not always for the best. Phone calls fill the grubby little kitchen as Jenny waits anxiously for her husband, Josh, to return home from work. Frustration builds as the evening draws in as uninvited guests 'drop by' to disturb her train of thoughts; insulting her where possible, demanding advice for their own problems, rummaging through her cupboards and asking the same question: Where is Josh? Firstly there's Madge, barging in with her wellington boots with the order of a dozen eggs and her unrequited attentions directed at the fishmonger employee at Morrison's with whom she is trying to bag a date: Dilly - Josh's bitterly emotional mother, determined to prevent him from attending her ex-husband's wedding to the home-wrecking "tart" he left her for and finally there's Matt; Jenny's brother, who is restlessly bored and unsure of his own future. Having had enough of his partner Graeme, he has decided to leave his unsatisfactory relationship in the hopes of moving in with his sister. Tensions quickly mount as they uncover the truth behind his disappearance of Josh and Jenny realises just how much he meant to her. . .but is it too late?
