Claim and Shame

by Frances Beckett

Sunday 13th - Tuesday 15th December 7.45pm

A new comedy based on the recent MP's expenses scandal

Newly elected Labour MP Meg Jones finds herself in the front line of the expenses scandal, while her husband falls for a classic newspaper honey trap. Their lives and their marriage disintegrate before the relentlessly cruel headlines. But was it their fault - or are they convenient scapegoats for much bigger fraudsters? The financiers who surround them were having their own troubles, and the journalists who exposed them were not so clean as the liked to sound.

This is the third play written and directed as a collaboration between director JoAnna Turner and playwright Francis Beckett.

And Finally...

Everything that rises must Dance

Fri 18th Dec 7.45pm

by Lucy Railton and Sasha Milavic Davies

directed Sasha Milavic Davies

A girl learns that the ordering of events can have desperate consequences. Her search for harmony becomes a constant conflict between the agreement and disruption of her memories. A story about how we force order on things because we have no way to experience randomness.

Director and performer, Sasha Milavic Davies and cellist Lucy Railton have developed a new type of musical theatre; one in which contemporary music is a medium for performance and story-telling.
