Synopsis: | A big-hearted, bittersweet comedy about mothers, sisters, love and lies. In her Yorkshire council house, no-nonsense Mari is having a clear out before the 'Big Move' brought on by cancer. There's a lifetime of clutter to be sorted, the house to clean from top to bottom, and the squirrels in the loft to be dealt with before she can bow out. But, as well as memories of holidays in Mablethorpe and day trips to Flamingoland, there's a big box of family secrets to dust off and unwrap. Will Mari decide to let sleeping dogs lie? Or will she force them all to wake up and finally face the truth? | |||||

Synopsis: | The gardeners of Thistledale Allotments are a rag-bag bunch of diggers and dreamers. Strong personalities frequently clash over the best treatment for mealy bugs, and the annual 'Heaviest and Longest' competition is always a time when old feuds and new flirtations threaten to undermine the fragile peace. Then Harvey from the Council pays them a visit and they realise that they must pull together, or forfeit their precious plot forever. But can they agree on a strategy? How will they convince Harvey of the vital role allotments have played in the life of the nation for centuries? What will they do when things inevitably get completely out of hand? Told with a rollicking mix of old music hall tunes and brand new songs, Losing The Plot is a story of love - between people and the land; between people and people; and between people and their giant vegetables. | |||||

Notes: | from novel by Charles Dickens | |||||
Synopsis: | On a striking, angular set of dirty wood, metal and stone with lots of platforms and doorways at different levels, designed by Dawn Allsopp and lit beautifully by Richard G Jones, the story of the young orphan boy in the workhouse who dares to ask for more food and is cast out to begin his adventures on the streets of London is moved on rapidly, initially through short scenes, choral narration and songs. This keeps the pace going and summarises the core plot well, but it is nice later on when some more substantial scenes are allowed to develop. | |||||
