Mummies and Daddies
26th January – 14th February 2010
Tues - Sat @ 7:30pm, Sunday 5:30pm
Presented by FallOut Theatre
Mummies and Daddies offers a brutal (yet hilarious) insight into the soullessness of consumerism as a group of young professionals gather to celebrate the final summer of the twentieth century. The evening is disrupted but enlivened by the undercurrent of violent disappointment between the warring host couple, the casual abuse of alcohol and drugs, and the imposition of a Phil Collins soundtrack. What hopes do we have for the twenty-first century, if we can’t even be civil to the ones we love? What will we be worth if our friends can be bought and sold? And what will our children be like.
Torben Betts is "“an uncommonly talented playwright” "

Clam & Honey/Baby
16th February – 7th March 2010
Tues - Sat @ 7:30pm, Sunday 4:00pm
Presented by PapaCproductions
PapaC Productions presents a Deborah Levy Double Bill. Two plays for the price of one! Two dark tales set in a world on the outskirts of reality, a place where the strange and wild is commonplace. Levy's plays explore loss of hope and identity with a twist of comedy and violence that leaves the audience with a bittersweet taste on their tongues. Be cautious when you enter this world, you may just lose yourself along the way Both of Levy's plays are uncompromising, visceral pieces that encourage audience interpretation and force us to question our views on women, relationships and violence.
"Levy is A budding Genius - City Limits. Papachronopoulou’s idea of fusing elements of dark comedy with musicals at equal measure is the (her) strongest asset"
