Synopsis: B Minor is a ten minute play for three characters written in free verse. It is my most performed play. It was first devised in 2003 for the Red Room Theatre Company's conference on political theatre-making Going Public. It was subsequently commissioned by Theatre & Beyond for What Now? a festival of anti-war shorts. It has since been used by Half Moon Young People's Theatre as a creative stimulus for their Careers In Theatre week, and been performed at the Old Red Lion for Nabakov Theatre Company's Shorts night, and at Subverse a monthly night of political playwrighting at Theatre 503.

Notes: What confessions are held in this city's soul? What rifts are to be found in the psyche of this capital, and what should lie undisturbed? And. . ..do you dare to find out? Each performance is a one-to-one, and takes place in the nooks, crannies and quirky spaces of Hoxton Hall.
Synopsis: We'd get the call, and turn up to look for survivors. That smell of blood in the air, heavy and sweet. It was the kids what used to get to us. They'd be scattered about, like torn-up teddy bears.
A monologue written for I CONFESS at Hoxton Hall exposing a darker reality endured by those who lived through the London blitz.

Notes: devised by Topher Campbell and written by Fin Kennedy
Synopsis: Unstated is based on the true testimonies of the men and women who seek refuge in the UK. Sometimes smuggled, sometimes forced from their own land, they wash up in Britain only to endure more hardship and destitution. A mixture of film and live action, written by Fin Kennedy, (John Whiting Award winner) from filmed interviews and designed by international artist Roney Fraser-Munroe, it aims to debunk some of the myths that surround asylum seekers and expose how we treat some of society's most vulnerable. Unstated has been developed as a collaboration with agencies that work in this area. The company interviewed a range of subjects from individual asylum seekers, workers at Immigration Centres and experts, to offer up a dramatic picture and invite audiences to decide just how fair the system really is. A cast of four actors along with filmed sequences, will appear in this interactive show presented in a promenade space with the venue being turned into a removal centre where audience members will be searched and finger printed as they enter.
