GULLZ
Christmas Day morning. An early-bird jogger puffs and pants his solitary middle-aged path round Millbay’s deserted streets.
Alone?
​
Not quite. The sex workers don’t close for Christmas. Nor do the seagulls. So, what’s our man out for? To feed the birds? Hardly, he hates them. Out for a festive work-out - that’s for sure - but what sort?
​
And why does he does he get the feeling the birds are doing some human-watching?
​
Love them or hate them? There’s no getting away from them
They’re a part of any town or city landscape. Opportunistic thieves or lovable rascals. Vicious killers or victims of environment change? A baway and raucous look at how one weed species (us) may need adjust to enforced co-existence with others.
Expect plenty of audience participation!
PLYMOUTH-PLYMOUTH: ARE WE THERE YET?
Final part of the PLYMOUTH-PLYMOUTH trilogy.
​
This is the Mayflower “story” as told by three female characters. High school student – Dorothy - her namesake on board the Mayflower and Sokanon, a member of the Nauset tribe.
​
The play centres on the theme of “strangers”. Dorothy “junior” who feels alienated from her own time and Dorothy “senior” who has left England to set up life in a world alien in both nature and customs.
And then there's Sokanon, who just so happens to already live in the “new world”, and unwillingly about to become part of a process that will change her life - and the lives of those she loves and cherishes - forever.
And whose descendants will effectively become strangers in their own land

"Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone", or so Kelly Clarkson assures us.
​
Take one park, add two benches, divide by eight. Eight individuals who happen to come to the same space every lunchtime . But, apart from that, what else do they have in common Are they lonely - or just alone? What is the difference between the two feelings? Is there actually one?
Or does Kelly Clarkson have it right?* Join us - and Trixie, and Brian and Joan and all the others - in a park near you and you may find out. (Bring your own packed lunch and a mac!)
