Cigarettes and Chocolate, Michelmas 2007
"Gemma was fine. Political."
"She wasn't political."
"She wanted to adopt a Vietnamese baby outside the Uffizi."
Gemma has stopped speaking. Lorna thinks it's because she's been sleeping with Rob. Alastair thinks it's because of his loveletter. Gail wonders how she is going to cope with a baby when her best friend won't speak and her boyfriend keeps coming to bed in a tracksuit. Rob wants to come round later for sex.
Minghella's sharply comic view of modern life questions why silence is such a threat. This onslaught of infidelity, intimacy and indifference will make you laugh, but also make you wonder what we're doing with all these words anyway...
Sexual Perversity in Chicago, Easter 2007
"The main thing about broads is two things. One: The Way to Get Laid is to Treat 'Em Like Shit, and Two: Nothing, nothing makes you so attractive to the opposite sex as getting your rocks off on a regular basis."
Welcome to the world of the modern relationship, where sex is a commodity and love is just a word. Sexual hostility crackles through every scene of Mamet's dissection of human interaction in its various states of love, lust and dissatisfaction. An hour long, this is a play to make you cringe in your seat and cry with laughter, this is an unforgettable portrayal of sex and friendship, and what it really means to say "I love you"...
Side By Side, by Sondheim, Michelmas 2006
Tomato Pulp, Lent 2006
7 people stuck in a lift. Each
with a secret. Exciting new talent from the Corpus Freshers' (2006),
exploring 7 lives in all the gory splendour of their relationships, their
failings, their insecurities, and ultimately their reactions in the face of
death. Who is it to be? And who will break down first? The best show you'll
see this year featuring a tomato.
