Synopsis: | Frank is an ordinary bloke who finds himself in Eastern Europe on business for his small Yorkshire factory. Here he meets Lena for what he assumes is a casual extra-marital fling, but Lena has other ideas. Back home, Frank`s comfortable but dull life is turned on its head when Lena arrives on his doorstep. The plays examines the tensions in a long term marriage while also challenging the audience`s attitudes to the immigrant on our doorstep. This new play by the Northern Lights Artistic Director, Alan Avery, is set to amuse, but also to bring into the open attitudes to race and marriage which can be disturbing. | |||||

Synopsis: | Mary wakes in a stark room believing she has been kidnapped. She is joined by Tracy who is equally confused. With the arrival of Jack and his strange ideas the truth dawns on the three of them. A simple play which nevertheless makes serious demands on the three young actors. Her warning of impending disaster is sceptically ignored by a clergyman more apt to take moral affront from a scantily-clad dancing-girl and her smooth-tongued barker. Escaping the heat and noisy bustle of the fairground the young couple seek the tranquillity of a nearby moonlit riverbank where, briefly, romance innocently blossoms before being crushed out by tragic violence. Whilst in the fairground life goes on. | |||||
