He doesn't realise that his best friend, the girl next door Kathy, is madly in love with him. Spud is recruited by an American con man Oscar P.

Notes: -

Synopsis: *Writing Award Winner & Festival Award Winner* The daily lives of the four characters in this hard hitting modern drama are captured in a realistic snapshot of today's society. Damien, is a young unemployable drifter, Sally, is a drug addicted young street prostitute, Graham is a middle-aged single man who live with his dominating mother and D.S. Collins is an embittered female detective. All have something in common - they are all caught in some kind of trap. When their lives are brought together through circumstances beyond their control, the story unfolds. Gritty, thought-provoking, with moments of pure black comedy, this play would be ideally suited for a drama festival or performance on the fringe.

Notes: -

Synopsis: A comic, multiple whodunit. Members of an amateur dramatic society meet on the set of their latest production to take part in a social event - a murder mystery dinner. The guests arrive in the costumes of the eccentric characters that they will be playing and the game begins. As the rounds progress, the clues point to all of those present. The game is interrupted when the Chairman's wife is found dead in the kitchen, but continues with her body now playing the part of the fictional murder victim. Shortly after the denouement, the lights go out and when they return, one of their number is found shot. The game begins again, this time in the guise of the characters that they are playing in their latest production. As the game progresses, three more members are murdered, by electric shock, strangulation and poisoning. Who is killing off all of the male members of the society? And why? The mystery is solved on the very last page.

Pantomime

-

-

Notes: -

Synopsis: A brand new story which guarantees to bring pantomime into the 21st century. The evil Millennium Bug and his equally nasty side-kicks, Daft Moll and Anarchy Skystalker plan to take control of the entire universe. But first they have to capture earth. Their cunning plan is to kidnap all of the principal characters from every traditional pantomime and hold them to ransom. How could we ever survive without pantomime? A magnificent journey amongst the stars in this traditionally styled family panto. Slap-stick, corny jokes, and an abundance of audience participation together with a wealth of superb original panto type songs makes this show a must for those companies that like to be a bit daring and want to offer their audiences something new.

Notes: -

Synopsis: 'The Rose Tinted Glasses' was devised by Year 11 Drama Students at Addington High School, Croydon as part of their GCSE exam work. The students decided from the start which issues they wished to tackle and working closely with the writer over a period of ten weeks in a series of workshops the script gradually took shape until the group felt that they had sufficient ownership of the piece to perform it themselves as their exam piece in 2001. The script deliberately pulls no punches and deals with issues of drugs, alcohol abuse, racism, domestic violence, sexual abuse, teenage pregnancy, juvenile prostitution, street crime, graffiti, anti-social behaviour and homelessness as seen through the eyes of the current teenage generation. Although form, shape and drama has been the responsibility of the writer it is the voices of the young people themselves that make this a powerful piece of modern performance theatre that is suitable for use by schools and youth groups.
