PLAYS

A dark comedy about art and immortality that questions our contemporary ideas of fame, stardom and adoration. The exchange between a student backpacker and the ghost of the greatest actress of the 19th century calls into question whether public fame and private happiness can ever be balanced.

Six regulars meet up in a coffee shop in Santa Barbara, California.  Each  is concerned with love in its many forms: yearning, poetic, and philosophical. What unites them is writing: letters, poems, treaties, grocery lists, reminders, university papers. Each time a letter, or partial letter is found in the café by another character it is misinterpreted and creates a new meaning. Misunderstandings, new poetic creations, an array of emotion and most of all humour, ensues at a live mic night at the cafe. A little bit of “Cheers”, a dash of “Friends”, a helping of “La Ronde”, and a touch of tech make up this light-hearted comedy. 

George works at La Defense in Paris. His wife is his childhood sweetheart. One day someone takes his place and his life takes on a whole new meaning. Who is this doppelgänger - a figment of his imagination or his better self?

The Greek Furies were a chorus of winged creatures with bloody eyes and pet snakes, who hounded unrepentant criminals. When Athena sent them underground, their justice-seeking activities dwindled. Now it’s present day and they’ve forgotten how to fury. The grotto depresses them, and they suffer from psychosomatic ailments. Until one fateful day a ‘Fury-in-training’ arrives and offers hope. They teach her their ancient methods of flying and haunting until they discover she’s an infiltrator: a police officer from the upperworld who wants to recruit them! Can the Furies make a fresh start and fight crime the modern way? 

A group of adult siblings: faux-twins, a world traveller, a literature professor, a banker and a ghost, infiltrate the family home. They have been called back by a letter from the mother telling them of an important announcement. When they arrive, she isn’t present and during the waiting time, a weekend take-over ensues, during which they try to re-order their past to make sense of their present lives. Each family member's experience is revealed as a way to puzzle the pieces of their mother together, and to reveal the family tragedy that long ago tore her apart. 

“Our love can stretch further than the eye can see…”
