SPINSTER by Martha Jamieson
Self-proclaimed SPINSTER is going on a date, or is she? Set in a playful backdrop of karaoke, etymology and getting glammed, this play explores the ‘cost’ of being single for SPINSTER in more ways than one.
Martha Jamieson
Writer of SPINSTER
Glue by Holly Lawless
Glue is about two friends reconnecting and reminiscing. It’s about the pain of growing and the fear of connection. It’s about the cost of leaving and the cost of being left behind. And it’s about what holds us together.
Holly Lawless
Writer of Glue
Muzzle by Luke Male

local resident, SEFF, decides to hunt down and kill the animal, an Irish wolfhound.
But the plague continues. And the dog still pants.

Hatch by Aquil Rodrigues
Hatch is a dramatic piece spawned out of the question: what does it take to desire to destroy the very thing one took pains to create?

DragPocalypse! by Dana Symons
At the end of the world as we know it, all that remains are cockroaches, and two nasty Drag Queens, who only have each other.
