The Other Room
By Liv Gilchrist

One room. A hot-cold couple in a crumbling marriage. A daughter on a journey of self-discovery, and a priest in hiding…with his sexy boyfriend Neil. Underneath the sheets, they confront some hard truths about sex. Come stay in the other room, for an intimate night in.

7.Which role would you like to be considered for?

Best Man
By Sol Taibi

Best Man is a play about men’s mental health through the guise of a four way buddy comedy. It’s about Fatherhood and wanting to become a better man, and how we set a much better example to our children when we live in a system where men don’t speak about mental health, and more often than not groups of men are frightened to speak about how they’re actually doing. They tend not to have real conversations, or just make references to memories of days gone by; rather than speak about how they’re doing and where they are right now. Best Man is The Inbetweeners meets Aftersun.
