Having It
Produced by Top Drawer/Damian Collier
"Try new, improved 'Baby'! Just one squeeze and it's love! You'll never look back!"
Advertising creatives Marie and Rob could sell you anything - washing powder, holidays, cars, dreams. But can they sell each other their ideas for the future? For Rob, it's time for commitment and family. Marie, meanwhile, is more interested in promotion than procreation. If they could only see the way things would turn out… But would knowing your destiny be nothing but a curse?

Sun-Eyed Girl
Currently in development
A girl is searching for a missing person. Have you seen him? He’s gone. She’s worried. Not for him. But for herself. What if she never finds someone as happy as him again?
Sun-Eyed Girl is a play about the ‘Satisfaction Gap’ – the discrepancy between what we think we need and what really makes us content.

A Long Story
Currently in development
- Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.
- Why?
- I dunno. Don’t everyone need to every once in a while?
Polly doesn’t get out much. Sol is always asking. Polly’s too busy studying for her A Levels, tidying the flat, looking after her mum... Sol thinks Polly is a princess locked in a tower. Polly says: there is no tower. Fairytale and modern urban life play out alongside one another in a play about building up walls and bringing them crashing down.

If No-One Loves You, Change
Directed by Bob Wolstenholme and featuring
Rachel Aveling
At Corby-based charity the Self Help Advice Bureau (or SHAB for short) no life crisis is too large - or small - for the ever-supportive Yvonne and Tory. Teenage turmoil, family strife and gender confusion can all be solved with a spot of workshopping, a cup of tea and a pasty from Greggs.
If No-One Loves You, Change takes a sideswipe at the self-help industry and our fixation with wearing our troubles as a badge of achievement. After all, who are you if you don't have food intolerance, a troubled childhood and a personal therapist for your dog?
