The play is a three-act drama, which takes place on a single night in 1912 and focuses on the prosperous middle-class Birling family, who live in a comfortable home in Brumley, "an industrial city in the north Midlands". The family is visited by a man calling himself Inspector Goole, who questions the family about the suicide of a young working-class woman, Eva Smith (also known as Daisy Renton). Over the course of the evening, the entire family are interrogated by Goole to reveal the shocking truth!

The Dumb Waiter - By Harold Pinter |
|
Performance dates: 10th-12th December 2009
Produced, Directed and Performed by Alex Pearce and Richard Whittle Two hit-men, Ben and Gus are waiting in a basement room for their assignment. Ben is the senior member of the team and is reading a newspaper when the action begins. Gus is the junior member and is tying his shoes as the play opens. Gus asks many questions of Ben as he gets ready for their job and tries to make tea, including questions about their job (Gus seems to be questioning the concept of being a hit-man). They argue over the semantics of "light the kettle" and "put the kettle on". Ben continues reading his paper most of the time, and reads excerpts of it to Gus sometimes, it seems, to change the topic of conversation. Ben gets increasingly more animated in his newspaper story-telling, and Gus's questions become more and more pointed, and at points nearly nonsensical. As the tension rises the physicality of the two players increases accordingly. |

Written by Bill McIlwraith Directed by Dan Clinton Audition date: 13th December 2009 , 2-5PM Set in South London, 1966. Three sons who work in the family construction business help their overbearing mother celebrate her anniversary to her late husband. Despite the fact that Dad is dead, (his dying words, we’re told, being ‘now at last I’ll get some bloody peace!’) the family still gather to celebrate the anniversary of their parent’s wedding. The question is why? The answer is so that Mum can continue to exert the relentless and obnoxious grip that she has over her sons; binding them to her with gifts, threats and the ruthless exploitation of their weaknesses. She maintains control by any means at her disposal; but not with love, oh no, there is no love in this particular family! Characters: Tom Shirley Henry Terry Karen Mum |
