Synopsis: A collection of Monologues and Duologues; Bedtime Stories explores our pre-conceptions and stereo-typical expectations of the male and female psyche. Sometimes puerile, sometimes poignant, always honest. It's set in a bed, in a bedroom, in those last few moments, while we lay in bed awaiting sleep and our brains are left to wander around aimlessly. It examines our own personal forms of logic and our abilities to convince ourselves of the existence or non-existence of events occurring in our own realities. Our desires, our paranoia and our fears of not complying to 'the norm', not being understood and most of all our fear of ourselves. Played out in a series of male and female train-of-thought-style monologues it in turn examines and parodies our ideals of gender stereotypes. Funny and at times shocking, Bedtime Stories is a play that starts when the lights go out.

Notes: Winner of 2003 'Hairline Highlight Award'

Synopsis: The play is a dark fairytale about the life of an extraordinary young man, his journeys, experiences and the vast array of bizarre characters he's encountered along the way. Our Storyteller leaps in and out of the weird and wonderful caricatures, in a completely original piece that explores the darker sides of human nature in a way we can all understand. A Fairy Story unlike any you've ever seen before.

Notes: Fest 'Critic's Choice'

Synopsis: Girl meets boy, Girl leaves boy, Girl doesn't have sex for eleven and a half months, Girl gets pregnant, Girl meets Angel, Girl meets Fallen Angel, Girl ponders fate of unborn child. You're young, free and single and haven't had sex for the last eleven and a half months, then one morning you wake up pregnant and to make matters worse the Angel Gabriel is on your doorstep claiming parentage! This is the situation Immaculate's young heroine finds herself in, which is unexpected to say the least, considering the fact that as a part-time mistress she isn't exactly 'the Virgin Mary'. To make matters worse her highly-strung boyfriend Michael turns up, blind with panic, convinced that the child is his, closely followed by Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, who is adamant the unborn baby belongs to him! 'Immaculate' is a black comedy of misconceived conceptions that deals with religion, relationships and responsibilities.It explores the reality of immaculate conception and how it would be received by a generation of non-believers. It asks the questions many of us would like to ask God if we ever got the chance.

Notes: Winner Hairline Highlight Award

Synopsis: They have a picture, a picture which could spell the destruction of civilised society, a plan so devastating it would change the world as we know it. They must put a stop to it. They have a suspect, tied to a chair, a hood covering his face. The only problem is the suspect claims the picture was drawn by his four year old son. They have the suspect's wife, but she claims her son couldn't have made the picture. Who's telling the truth? What is the truth? And does the truth really matter any more? Are we paranoid? Or are they really out to get us? What effect have the politics of fear had on our society? How much we will believe and what will we do to save ourselves when we feel we're under threat? Are we under threat? And if so what is justifiable? Can the myth of terror be more dangerous than the truth and could the biggest threat to our way of life be our own paranoia?
