Fruit of the Dark Orchard
by Ian Reed Golden

What should have been a civilised evening at the home of a once-great writer slowly becomes the battleground for a relationship at breaking point. Caught in this warring couple’s emotional crossfire are an exciting painter soon to become the new darling of the London art scene and a very ambitious young journalist.
Fruit of the Dark Orchard reveals one man’s thoughts on love and how far someone will go to find out if they are still loved. Contains some strong language.

The Chain
by Vanessa Cutts

A rollercoaster of emotions unfolds during the falling apart of a property chain, as three couples suffer the traumas of house buying and a list of things that go wrong. The play is a black comedy that contains arguments, laughter, and other human defences; partners are either drunk, thinking of murdering the agents or sticking to their guns. Contains reference to alcohol and mild language.

Some Disenchanted Evening
by Craig Bates

Two men, one game of ‘Truth or Dare,’ one goldfish and a heap of festering resentment. What could possibly go wrong? Some Disenchanted Evening is a funny snapshot of a relationship when it’s late at night and both parties have had a little tipple. Contains occasional strong language and mild peril!!
