CURRENT PRODUCTION
Perfect Pie By Judith Thompson, directed by Maureen Beattie. The acclaimed Canadian playwright’s play serves up a slice of life about childhood, friendship and old secrets. While Patsy wed a prosperous farmer and stayed in the town she grew up in, wild-child Francesca followed the lights of the big city and became an actor. As they re-visit their less-than carefree childhoods, the two girls, now women, confront the choices they’ve made and a past secret. (90 mins no interval, 9 on the road)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
The Unconquered By Torben Betts, directed by Muriel Romanes. Powerful poetic language, dark humour and provocative ideas build a fast-moving story around a fiercely intelligent young girl and her relentless refusal of the establishment. When suddenly a people’s revolution breaks out and a mercenary soldier intrudes the family home, the conflict between the regime and the unconquered girl is revealed. (Approx. 90 mins no interval, 9 on the road)
