Brutal Cessation

Brutal Cessation
A relationship rotting. Purgatory. Is having no reason to stay a reason to leave? At what point does the abuser become the abused? And why aren't we more afraid of women? Two actors, one couple, swapping roles. A savage new play exploring violence in relationships, our expectations of gender and what happens when we're no longer in love but refuse to let go.

Clickbait

Synopsis:
Your appeal is that you look piss ordinary. You're not ugly and you're not a Kardashian, you look like a normal person. A normal person, that makes porn. . . Nicola Barker is in trouble. A video has been made, and she is the unwitting star. In a bid to stop the footage being used against her, Nicola makes a snap decision: to post it online herself. What started as a drunken night in a dirty club ends with a unique business opportunity for Nicola and her two sisters, changing the meaning of 'amateur porn' forever. But where there is demand, there must be supply, and as the line between empowerment and exploitation becomes blurred, public opinion begins to turn against the trio. A darkly comic new play from the writer/director team behind A First World Problem, this is a blistering study of our attitudes to porn, and the women who make it for themselves.

Dust

Synopsis:
Dust - A woman. A suicide. A choice. A fly on the wall. A funeral. A Bakewell tart. A life. A lie. A truth. An ending. Of sorts. Alice thinks that life isn't worth living. So she kills herself. Sort of. She is stuck, a fly on the wall. Forced to watch the aftermath of her suicide and its ripple effect on her family and friends, Alice quickly learns that death changes people. And that death is not the change she hoped for.

First World Problem, A

Piggies

Synopsis:
Stephen's having a birthday. Anabelle's dad is organising a festival. And it's half-term. Hashtag awesome. When a group of teenagers pitch up at a music festival they strap in for a wild weekend of reckless abandon, drugs and banter. However, a gruesome discovery is more than they bargained for. As the weekend progresses their carefully constructed cosmos soon descends into chaos as they are forced to confront one another in ways they never thought imaginable. With relentless brutality and blistering dialogue, Piggies challenges our perceptions of power and peer pressure and asks what it means to be 'bad'.
