Rehearsed reading at Lakeside, Nottingham in May 2010

Synopsis:

Edgar Rhyme, once a famous psychic with an ardent flock of followers, now lives alone in a cluttered upstairs flat in a fading northern seaside town with his beloved jazz music. As he mourns the loss of his wife, Edgar attempts to block out all contact with the spirit world but something is trying to break through to him. Amanda Schilling, an investigative journalist with a chequered career, wants to interview Edgar for a high-profile series she is writing about British obsessions. She feels Edgar will be the perfect subject for a piece about spiritualism. Edgar is cautious, but the payment Amanda offers persuades him to talk. As Edgar tells her the story of his life, she becomes aware that a frightening force has reached Edgar before she has and will use him to unearth her own terrible secret. The mismatched pair soon realise why they have been drawn together. As they discover the importance of the decisions they will make during the long dark night, an eerie image of a small boy appears in the mottled mirror above Edgars fireplace - slowly growing stronger& and getting angrier. . .

Synopsis:

As a noted local drama group prepares to celebrate an important anniversary, two of its former leading lights, Zilla Mint and Kitty Feathers, find that looking back can stir up memories that would have been best left lying. With the help of their carer at the Rye Hill Rest Home for Professional Ladies, old grievances are tackled head on because a decision has to be made. Both Zilla and Kitty took it in turns to play St Joan in the glory days of the Gimcrack Players. But who was the greatest Joan of all?
