After being seriously injured in an overseas roadside bomb, Sarah, a photojournalist, has returned home to her long time partner James, a foreign correspondent, who is navigating his own war-induced emotional trauma. Together they attempt to adjust to a new domesticated life, alongside their editor and mentor, Richard and his younger girlfriend, Mandy. A gritty and compelling examination on the emotional and moral consequences of war, love, humanity and whether certain desires and images can ever really be erased.

By Terence Rattigan

Another classic directed by William B. Davis

The play is set in an English boarding school shortly after the second world war. In this, his second last day at the school, a brilliant scholar and unsuccessful teacher is forced to confront the failures of both his personal and professional lives. Something totally unexpected happens to give him a new sense of purpose and meaning. A tightly focused drama, surprising in its apparent simplicity. 

Presented by the Smoking Gun Collective.

A lonely old woman struggles to find warmth and sustenance at Christmas. Robbed and abandoned, she falls into the snow – hungry, cold and exhausted. She seems certain to perish, but a small miracle begins as the wooden figures from a Christmas crèche come to life to help. A fusion of realism and fantasy, this story will tug at your heart-strings.

What if optimism were not a virtue, but a survival tactic? Cheerfully buried up to her waist (and later her neck) in a mound of earth, Winnie greets each new day as “another happy day.” Armed with a toothbrush, a revolver and an unshakable belief in routine, Winnie chatters, reminisces, and perseveres – even as her world literally closes in on her. Razor-sharp,
merciless, and laugh-out-loud funny, this play is an exposure of human resilience at its most absurd.

On the eve of July 4th, Elena is preparing to throw a party to celebrate her husband, Henry, as he unveils his latest architectural masterpiece. But their already vulnerable union is shattered by the unexpected arrival of a former student of Henry’s, with whom he shared an intimate connection. Inspired by Ibsen, this is a startling play that lays bare the vulnerabilities we expose when we leave ourselves open to love.
