SUMMARY:As Good As God Loves Them - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:1655. England is under the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell\, but the scars of civil war remain. A remote village\, desperate to curtail the spread of the plague\, has cut itself off from its neighbours in a self-imposed isolation. As supplies dwindle and tensions fray\, the community struggles to hold itself together. Until a stranger arrives at the village gates\, begging to be let in. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Double Double - Barn Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Weeks before his 37th birthday\, Philippa’s husband Richard dies – the birthday that the terms of his inheritance required him to be alive and married. In the throes of grief\, Philippa hatches a plan: find someone she can pass off as Richard and split the £2million windfall. \nThe good news is that she’s found Richard’s doppelganger in Duncan. The bad news? Duncan is homeless\, shabby and has a broad Scots accent. Can she turn him into a passable version of genteel antiques collector Richard? \nWhat follows is a witty psychological duel where Philippa and Duncan each struggle to get the upper hand\, entangling feelings and second guessing intentions. Because now the con is on\, who really has the most to lose? \n  \n

SUMMARY:Coulrophobia - Tobacco Factory Theatres
DESCRIPTION:TWO CLOWNS TRAPPED IN A CARDBOARD WORLD… \nTake your seat\, relax but don’t get too comfortable. Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) is 80 minutes of brilliant slapstick\, mime\, puppetry\, existential angst and big shoes.   \nDik and Adam are Clowns! They couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag\, let alone a surreal cardboard world. Why are they there and what are they supposed to be doing? They know something sinister is afoot and they need to get out before it’s too late. Join them on a hysterical and sometimes terrifying quest for a more meaningful existence.  \nWith enough subversive humour to please the most hardened cynic\, Coulrophobia glides seamlessly from sinister to touching\, from ridiculous to outright hilarious. A high energy\, anarchic\, roller coaster of a clown / puppet show that has been a sell-out hit at festivals in Portugal\, Holland\, Norway\, Czech Republic\, Germany\, Spain\, Switzerland\, Sweden\, Belgium\, Romania\, Finland and the UK.
