Don't Call Fiona

Synopsis:
All is normally perpetual harmony in this blissful menage-a-trois presided over by fiercely protective mother-hen Lindy - but not today. A nerve-wracked George is glued to the dreaded mobile phone, locked in lengthy battle with the unspeakable Fiona, whilst David lures the mysterious Jennifer ("I'm an out of work professional - I don't do it for free!") into the house for a seemingly nasty experiment. 200 miles away Fiona is taking her clothes off to keep the bailiffs amused whilst they pillage George's luxury London house. Lindy erupts, David chickens-out, George implodes, whilst Jennifer and Fiona team up for the rescue operation. Things can only get worse? Yes - Fiona has cancelled her funeral and booked a seat on the six o'clock train from Kings Cross!

Last Tea Break

Synopsis:
An intriguing mix of comedy and pathos, played out on an empty stage. This small run-down museum will finally shut down this afternoon. The axe has fallen. Arthur's 23 years service has been tossed aside at the whim of a committee, his Union has deserted him and he is determined to prove to the Preservation Society demonstrators that he is a force to be reckoned with. He forcibly closes the place down for a lengthy, unauthorised tea break, driving them outside into the rain. Aided by Kate, a recuperating ex-alcoholic 'bag lady' in a wheelchair, Arthur makes his last heroic stand.

Letter From The Prisoner

Synopsis:
It is the afternoon of Monday 5th June 1944. The place - a small town in Normandy some 20 miles from the coast. The massive sea and airborne invasion of these coastal areas will commence in just 12 hours from now. A recently abandoned Resistance hide-out has been uncovered. The birds have flown - but why? Tension mounts as the resultant investigation draws three widely contrasting characters - two German officers and a French housewife - into the frame. The tense interrogation scenes are akin to exciting courtroom Drama at its best, these three remarkable roles providing an exciting theatre experience for cast and audiences alike.

Motel

Synopsis:
Three contrasting scenes from West Virginia U.S.A. set in the President Richard Nixon era of the early seventies. All three are set in the same motel cabin with Motel Man acting as link-man. 'Cabin Nine' brings the young couple Harry and Julie to their intensely moving, Dramatic confrontation with Harry's past. 'Don't call us, we'll call you!' sees our amiable 'two-bit con-man' Bugsy on the run from revengeful Chicago Mafia mobsters, with the delectable Blossom as his side-kick, soon to be subjected to a terrifying ordeal as 'man from Chicago' pounces on their West Virginia hide-out. 'Come the fall' brings two generations together in this moving family saga of conflicting aspirations, with middle-aged parents George and Elizabeth lured to the weekend venue by daughter Jenny, in league with the youthful Johnny - a painful reminder of Elizabeth's previous, disastrous marriage. Motel Man sums it up: "When you get to middle-age you gotta live it while you can. Ain't no going back. Yesterday - why, that's strictly
