Only On Sundays

Synopsis:
In 1975 two footballers kissed live on TV. Millions watched: most in hatred, a very small few in celebration. In a world fuelled by bed-post notches and 'Fat Girl Rodeo', the biggest lad's lad in town suddenly falls in love. But before he can accept the truth, he must first delve deep, and confront his own fears and prejudices. Only On Sundays is a funny, sad story about searching for acceptance, finding truth, and losing morality in machismo.

Specie

Synopsis:
Imagine total gender freedom, where changing sex is as easy as getting dressed. Sons can become daughters, husbands can become wives, and blind dates could be either in a new play from Fat Git theatre and Joe White. As the boundaries blur, where will curiosity take you? An irreverent, gene-juggling, biopunk vision of a planet and its specie in disarray. A riot ... prepare to be entertained, disgusted and positively perplexed (Scotsman on Fat Git theatre's Uninvited). ***** (ThreeWeeks on Joe White's the Kidnappers Guide).
