by Stephen Berkoff

Directed by Danny Sparkes

Roles:

Betty: landlady, typical digs landlady, (ghastly, intolerant but practical)

John: ‘resting’ classical actor, middle-aged, unsuccessful but still hoping

Sarah: romantic spinster who has ended up sadly in a lodging house but is still looking for better

Ted: (offstage) one of the landlady’s favourite tenants (whose main virtue is his blunt stupidity)

You, Me and Wii by Sue Townsend

Directed by Elaine Burns

Vincent’s skiing on the Wii, Sheila is feeding her great-granddaughter and Kerry’s getting on with the ironing. None of them are planning on voting in the election, but when Selina Snow rings their council doorbell to canvas, perhaps she can change their mind….or can they change hers?

Roles:

Sheila: grandmother playing age 60s – feeding the baby.  A sympathetic character

Kerry: mother playing age 35 – doing the ironing but not downtrodden at all.

Vincent: son playing age 20s – spends all day playing with the Wii

Courtney: playing age 14- is looking at MSN Messenger on the computer.

Selina: local Labour MP playing age 40s – smartly dressed as she is campaigning.  Smooth       but tough underneath.

Mark: her aide, 40 or under, smartly dressed. Typical of his type.
