Synopsis: | Being a teenager is hard enough, without falling in love - especially when everyone seems to be against you. So when Maria falls for Matt, in the aftermath of her brother's stabbing, no-one seems to take their relationship seriously. Matt's too short and looks like a hobbit - and is it really safe for Maria to leave the house? When a local gang start talking about revenge, can Matt and Maria really risk being together or are they simply too young to love? Exploring the range of problems that affect young people in the modern world, Tanika Gupta's play is a comic and poignant tale about what it means to be a teenager in love. | |||||

Notes: | Based on the novel "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens | |||||
| The Dickens epic classic is re-imagined for the stage in a unique adaptation by leading playwright Tanika Gupta, relocating Pip's extraordinary journey to nineteenth century India. Pip, a poor village boy, finds two chance meetings set his life on an unexpected course. At the water's edge, he has a terrifying encounter with an escaped convict. In the decaying grandeur of Miss Havisham's house, he falls hopelessly in love with the heartless Estella. When an anonymous benefactor helps him move to Calcutta, the heart of the British Raj, Pip pursues his great expectations and his dream of winning Estella's heart. Our production of this coming of age story, evoking some of Dickens' most colourful characters, is faithful to the period of the book and the richness of Dickens' language - a vivid theatrical retelling of a universally loved masterpiece | |||||

Synopsis: | Originally written by Harold Brighouse in 1916 the story revolved around Henry Horatio Hobson, his three daughters and his struggle to run his boot making business whilst still maintaining control over his increasingly strong willed girls. In Tanika Gupta's brilliant adaptation the story remains the same but the harassed widower is Hari Hobson who lives in Salford with his three daughters Ruby, Sunita and Durga. His dress-making business is doing very well, until he makes the mistake of informing Durga (his eldest daughter and the brains behind the business) that she has to give up all idea of ever getting married and leaving the family.The incensed Durga turns the tables on her father by marrying Hari's best tailor, Ali Mossop, and setting up their own rival shop. With her fate firmly in her own hands Durga faces the tough decision of fighting against her father, or finding a way to join forces. | |||||

Synopsis: | Written by Tanika Gupta and Directed by John Binnie this is a new drama that explores what happens to a family as the mind of an old man starts to unravel. Bobbie has spent all his adult life in Britain, but he begins to revert back to his first language; a language that he spoke as a boy in Bombay in the 1940's. His family - loving wife, grown-up daughter and teenage grand-son are devastated. How will they manage to communicate with Bobbie? How do they understand Bobbie's life as he enters a world that they have no comprehension of? As secrets and hidden stories tumble out of Bobbies mouth, his family start to question the truth about their ancestry and shared history. It uses a trapeze cleverly to provide imaginary settings to help tell the story and as a metaphor for the way Bobbie feels and how he is experiencing life. Mind Walking is an emotional drama exploring notions of home, cultural identity and family bonds. It is a must for anyone who would like to understand how it must feel to have someone who is losing their mental capabilities in their life. | |||||

It's called Daring Pairings and, as the publicity says, "instead of crossing a sheep with a kangaroo and getting a woolly jumper, or a centipede with a parrot and getting a walkie-talkie, we've been cross-breeding writers, artists and theatre companies." | |||||
