Synopsis:

Go for a spacewalk in Piccadilly. Scubadive down the South Bank. Think you're thinking about anything. . .except you. Ever since he was born, a terrible gift has cut Robin off from those around him. Today that may change. This is Robin's last chance to propose to the woman he loves, but he has to get to Machu Picchu to do it. And how can he cross the world, when he can't even get out of his bedsit? Compression is a funny and moving new play about the voices in our heads that hold us back, and how one singular man talked them around.

Synopsis:

unearths the seismic relationship between two half-sisters and their mother when they are forced together in the A&E ward of the local hospital.

The 2-person crew from a home makeover show pitch up for their latest assignment at a vicarage in St. Albans. But the vicar who requested their appearance in the first place has died and Flossie Fisher and Bill 'The Drill' King must now reckon with the vicar's punky daughter, grieving widower and hapless Masonic grave-digger. The play is about life after - and during - death and renders a spiritual look at the supernatural with tenderness and considerable wit.

Notes:

part of a three month long festival about the culture and history of Afghanistan. Entitled The Great Game: Afghanistan. The festival will be divided into three parts, each focusing on a period of Afghan history: 1842-1930 : Invasions And Independence

Now Is The Time

The fourth play takes us back to that modernising King Amanullah Khan, his wife Soraya and her father, Mahmud Tarzi, played respectively by Sagar Arya, Jemima Rooper and Vincent Ebrahim. We see them stuck in snow on their way to exile following an uprising by local chieftains determined to turn back the clock to the days of the veil prior to Westernisation. This is an opportunity for debate about Afghan and Muslim values but focuses on the individuals at the cost of the country and its politics. .
