Snakes in Paradiseby Anna Carlson
A World War 1 comedy set in heaven following Barny, a charismatic yet temperamental gentleman of quality and his loyal chauffeur and manservant Lloyd. A tidy, dapper young man, Lloyd would like to seem more cultured than he perhaps is especially as he is in love with Prudence, Barny's daughter. Prudence is a confused, impulsive young lady with a haphazard and very discreet approach to deduction. And what period piece would be complete without a useless and inarticulate maid! She is the catalyst for the sequence of events in which our characters find themselves hopelessly embroiled!
Women's Own: How to Kill Your Husband & Get Away With Itby Joanna Leppink
A sketch in the style of a macabre 1950s radio show "Women's Own" featuring two stereotypically perfect 1950s housewives with plastered on smiles, sunny dispositions and murderous streaks.
Six Cold Feetby Joanna Leppink
This naturalistic play is about recent graduate Lottie and her ambitious boyfriend Ben. Their comfortable, straight forward life is turned upside down when Lottie's best friend Dylan turns up unannounced. She thinks she has it all figured out. She doesn't. She thinks she's a grown up. She isn't. She thinks she knows what she wants. She doesn't.
With Apologies to Treasure Islandby Tom Wright
A comedy spoof of Treasure Island and the pirate genre in general. We follow protagonist Jim Hawkins as he is dragged (willingly) off on an adventure of a lifetime. In the company of Capt Smollett, Squire Trewlawney, Dr Livesey and a band of ruthless pirates led by Long John Silver himself - what could possibly go wrong?
