Synopsis: | The big first night for Sir Andrew Samson's new play. However, the preview was a disaster, with Gregor Yachminovich, the harshest critic in town, giving it a terrible review. As a result, Sir Andrew is more than a little reluctant to go on. Sitting in the audience are Michael and Fiona, a young couple. They are sitting next to another young couple, Lawrence and Charlotte, both of whom Michael hates. Two American tourists, Barbara and Roy, are also watching the play, trying to get a little taste of British culture. Two ushers, Phil and Reggie are working, and there's every chance the harshest critic in town might well be in the crowd. What ensues is a very interesting first night. . . | |||||

Notes: | The writings of Ian and Francis are acted out onstage. | |||||
Synopsis: | Ian and Francis attempt to write a play about a war hero, only for it to go hideously wrong. Instead, they decide to write an'ironic' play, thus providing an excuse for their lack of writing talent. The ideas that they create are acted out on stage, and are adapted according to the will of the writers. Whether their work is an instant classic or a complete shambles is decided over the course of the play. . . | |||||

Synopsis: | It is the 29th of February. Exactly a year and a day since Leonard's life was changed forever. A writer for hire by trade, Leonard paid his dues by grafting speeches for any occasion; weddings, funerals, even the odd political piece for a bit of diversity. Then out of the blue came an offer so lucrative that he couldn't resist, It wasn't going to be easy, but a year is enough time to get anything done, right? We join Leonard the day before the impending deadline, which fortune has extended for him due to the quirk of time that is a leap year. For most people, March can't come soon enough. For Leonard, February 29th is a Godsend& | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | A satire on the no-frills lifestyle that we live today, Turbulence tells the story of flight 331 from Dublin to London Heathrow from the perspectives of four different groups of passengers. Starting in the Departure lounge, moving onboard the flight itself, and aiming to finish in the Arrival lounge, the characters' paths inter link to highlight the lives of the budget travel generation. There is a slight snag however; DisastAir are not exactly known for their reliability, and Flight 331 promises to be one very bumpy ride. . . | |||||
