A follow up to Sue MacLaine's Total Theatre Award winning work Can I Start Again Please, vessel takes inspiration from the remarkable history of Anchoritism to ask if voluntary solitude could ever be defined as a political act. In a world of protests, political incompetence and incomprehension, MacLaine's characteristically poetic language layers the contrasting voices, and silences, of four women. Through battles with the demands of modern living, from the personal to the political, vessel imagines a life where shutting oneself off from the world could be considered the most radical protest of all.

Punts is a hilarious and moving new play by Sarah Page about a young man's sexual awakening and its effect on those who orchestrated it. Drawn from the playwright's interviews with sex workers, Punts - produced by Kuleshov Theatre (BU21, Cans) - explores love in all its complex and contradictory forms.
