Suit And Tie

Synopsis:
Loved. Loathed. Lastingly influential. She gave us the right to buy, whilst taking our children's milk; marched some proudly to war, whilst driving others to riot; was honoured by the pomp and regalia of a ceremonial funeral whilst mocked as a burning effigy on the pyre. the Iron Lady who wasnt for turning continues to divide the nations hearts and minds like no other figure in living memory.

Notes:
part of A Festival of Plays Inspired by Margaret Thatcher. In response to the national conversation surrounding Thatchers death, theatre503 has invited a broad spectrum of writers to write a series of short plays looking back at Margaret Thatcher - the woman, the politics and her legacy.

Twelve Miles From Nowhere

Synopsis:
my dad had this farm, passed down from his dad and it'll stay in this family. No way they're getting their greasy hands on it.' Since Michael and Emily's mother left, time has stood still. Their father James is struggling and can't see a way forward. The farm is in a bad way and going under. . .Then Craig arrives with enough charisma and ambition to charm the birds from the trees. But is he really the answer to their dreams? Set on a remote northern farm, Twelve Miles from Nowhere is a moving and compelling account of what happens when a vulnerable, isolated family let an engaging young stranger into their lives. Merging the dreams and aspirations found in Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men with the northern edge and humour of Barry Hines' Kes, this stunning new play about life on the edge is set against an unexpectedly gritty rural backdrop.
