Alice Gerstenberg’s The Pot Boiler is a satiric take on the construct of producing a play – with farcical and physical comedy a plenty. Director, Sarah Carradine.
Bertolt Brecht’s The Jewish Wife is a 10-minute sketch where we feel the full weight of history and its madness and glimpse the scale of the disruption that dictatorship may produce in a simple domestic world. Director, John Grinston.
Alan Ayckbourn’s Gosforth’s Fete is a riotous exploration of small-town life – when no matter what peoples’ best intentions are everything goes stupendously wrong, and the comic gods are unleashed. Director Christine Firkin.
The Jewish Wife and Gosforth's Fete are presented by Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French a Concord Theatricals Company.
