Birdwatchers' Wives
Synopsis:
Meet Rita Grebe, a seven-foot woman who thinks she's a bird. The latest alter-ego of performance artist Caroline Smith, deliciously dark' (Guardian), curiously cathartic' (Times), was researched with British birdwatchers - and now Rita's hell-bent on turning the archetype of the twitcher on its head. Dressed in elaborate great crested grebe plumage, Smith questions what happens when a bird runs the show and the label of human' no longer applies. Expect the comical and surreal, for not everything is what it seems. . . Continuing Smith's themes of uprooting the everyday in order to uncover and examine the strange. www.birdwatcherswives.co.uk

Kitchen Witches, The
Synopsis:
Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle are two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years, ever since Stephen Biddle dated one and married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show called the Kitchen Witches, the insults are flung harder than the food! Dolly's long-suffering TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly's dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel's, it's a losing battle, and the show becomes a rating smash as Dolly and Isobel top both Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!
