Synopsis:

Gary Owen's two-hander is a strange little number, charting the unlikely friendship of two young women doing jobs they hate in a Welsh call centre. Relief comes in the regular fag breaks, during which they sit outside and watch the skateboarders, contemplate genocide as a form of aerobic workout, consider aesthetics and the Welsh language, and wait to get cancer. Only life has a habit of springing little surprises that often turn out to be nasty even when they come wrapped in tissue paper and ribbon. Like sushi or hazelnut yoghurt, Owen's play is something of an acquired taste. Initially it seems stilted and contrived, but as the young women begin to break down the barriers that surround them, what emerges is an unspoken but deeply felt relationship, something fragile and yet solid, in a world of piss and puke, uncertainty and terror. - Guardian

Love Steals us from Loneliness

A play about the stupid things you do when you're f*cked. A night out. Friends, alcohol, a shit club, a strop - the usual. But tonight is different. Tonight will change things forever. With Love Steals us from Loneliness, Gary Owen, one of Wales's foremost playwrights, returns to his hometown of Bridgend. The media have told us their Bridgend story, but what will a writer who spent his own teenage years here have to say?

Mrs Reynolds And The Ruffian

Mrs Reynolds, is a "little old lady" and Jay, a troubled youth caught vandalising her garden. As 'community payback' Jay is sent back to help Mrs Reynolds fix the damage he caused. At first glance this is a simple tale of two generations locked in battle, Mrs Reynolds standing up for traditional values with her "nice little house, nice little garden and nice little life" vs Jay, the textbook chain-smoking hoodie prowling the urban jungle demanding respect but offering little in return. But there is more to these characters than the other suspects. Just as they think they have the measure of each other something is revealed and they are shocked by what they find out Mrs Reynolds and the Ruffian explores human nature and friendship alongside the social climate of modern Britain giving a warm, funny and wise glimpse into the way we live now.

Written By Gary Owen and Gabriel Bisset-Smith. Hampstead Theatre's second new writing festival is what the theatre describes as "something of a cross-breeding experiment". It's called Daring Pairings and, as the publicity says, "instead of crossing a sheep with a kangaroo and getting a woolly jumper, or a centipede with a parrot and getting a walkie-talkie, we've been cross-breeding writers, artists and theatre companies."

Synopsis:

In a cruel world where everyone is judged by appearance, two unlikely friends tell it like it is. . .Taking great pleasure in taunting and teasing  cos it's a laugh  until the tables are turned and the hurt they cause and the damage they do leads them to realise that maybe what's on the inside counts too.

Britain, 1940. The situation is desperate, and the Battle of Britain is about to start. Ginger is a radar officer, one of the few women charged with the job of shooting down German bombers. En-gaged to a PoW held by the Nazis. she has little time for the dances that offer the local RAF crews sex and solace before they take to skies. Then she meets Billy, a bomber pilot, and in the hothouse of Britain at war, she does something which will change the course of her life forever.Lyn Gardner, Guardian
