Synopsis: | Bonfire Night. Present day Salford. A disparate group of warring siblings gather at the family home under the shadow of impending loss.

Amidst the cut and thrust of spiky Salford banter, long harboured resentments rise to the surface, and loyalties are tested as family bonds unite and divide, unravel and unwind. All The Way Home is a deeply emotional comedy drama that explores the relationships we have with our roots, and with those that we love but dont always understand. | |||||

Synopsis: | A play about the dying breed of Anglo-Indians living in Calcutta. Set in 1981, the play is a serious comedy about a vividly memorable gang of eccentrics and exotics who are attempting to come to terms with their pasts and their fears for the future. Their world is filled with Violet's hilarious obsession with all things British, Elliot's questionable dress sense, Daphne's weakness for French records and the confrontational outbursts of the slightly mad Muriel who would do anything to defend their territory against the Hindu fundamentalists looming just behind the garden wall. | |||||
