THE AMERICAN PILOT
by David Grieg
Directed by Adam Henderson
A spy plane crash-lands in a remote valley. The villagers take in the wounded pilot. The American Pilot explores the way the world sees America and the way an American sees the world. Playwright David Greig goes beyond specific politics to a potent parable of power, a concise, compact clash of cultures set in an unnamed country torn by civil war.
Premièred by the Royal Shakespeare Company in April 2005.

KINDERTRANSPORT by Diane Samuels
Director: Michael Fera
In the months before the outbreak of World War Two, close to 10,000 Jewish children were sent to Great Britain by their parents in order to protectthem from the Third Reich. While the intention was to reunite with their children in the future, many of these parents died in the concentration camps. This full length drama deals with themes of identity, loss and survival. Kindertransport tells the story of a tri-generational family of women and illustrates the lengths to which a parent will go in order to ensure the safety of her child and proves that compassion can cross national and cultural boundaries.

VOLPONE by Ben Jonson
Director: John Murphy
Ben Jonson, an extraordinary playwright and poet from some 400 years ago, attained literary status that rivaled Shakespeare at the time. Volpone is one of his major works. This play whose characters remain recognizable to this day exposes the pomposity of the legal system and the hypocrisy of wealthy lawyers who are prepared to argue anything for a price.

YOU NEVER CAN TELL by George Bernard Shaw
Director: Bernard Cuffling
George Bernard Shaw’s witty comic play dealing with the long arm of coincidence is loads of FUN!! Issues such as feminism and gunneries are addressed but not taken all that seriously. The characters from the Clamptons and the fatherless Clandon clan, which includes two endearing brats, to the local dentist, intermingle in hilarious events.
