Auditions for "Closer" by Patrick Marber

Auditions: Wed 24th June 7:30pm & Sun 28th June 2:30pm

Winner of the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy and the Laurence Oliver Award for Best New Play, Closer explores the brutal anatomy of modern romance. A quartet of strangers meet, fall in love and become entangled in a web of sexual desire and betrayal.
On the surface it is brisk, urbane, modern and slick, underneath it is painful, sad and wise and keenly alert to human isolation even within intense relationships.
Anyone who has loved and lost, suffered through infidelity or felt love die, will watch this play with stomach churning pangs of recognition.

Performance running from Monday 28th Sept – Saturday 3rd Oct

The Dianalogues by Laurel Haines

Performance dates: Monday 8th June to Saturday 13th June at 7:45pm.

.....not a play about Princess Di....

So... what do a homicidal housewife, sci-fi wedding and ex porn film star have to do with a former fairytale princess?

From the teenage beauty queen at fat camp and the high powered lawyer who wants a royal style wedding, to a disgruntled Mother Teresa whose death, on the same day as Diana’s, only made page four, this is not a play about Princess Diana but about ten very different women whose lives have in some way been influenced or affected by her.

This play will make you laugh and cry and laugh until you cry.
