Context Black Comedy

written and directed by Jacqui Mata Luque

Jody, recently divorced and emotionally distraught, moves in with her friend Andrea who has been divorced for quite some years. Andrea has embraced single life and the modern age, her mobile phone being her constant companion. While checking the classifieds in the local paper in the search for a couch, she comes across the relationship column and decides to get in touch with some young men, much to Jody’s horror.

The Big Cats Drama

written by Alec Baron and directed by David Coleman

When the local council tries to force Lily to move out of the family home she has shared with her husband Joe for many years, they are in for a battle they didn’t count on. All the other houses in the street have been demolished and the developers have moved in but Lily is fighting to stay and hold on to her treasured memories.

The Locals’ Spot Absurd Comedy

written and directed by Bruce Olive

The locals’ spot is an idyllic, pristine spot where the local can relax and contemplate in peace. However, today is different. Today the ‘spot’ has been gatecrashed by the crazy newcomer and the glamorous tourist, both of whom have their own agendas for this beautiful piece of paradise. An absurd comedy, the theme for this play could be, ‘You destroy what you love’.
