The Sylvia Plath play Three Women is not an easy play. It’s not one to see if you are looking for comic relief, a light-hearted night out or somewhere to take a first date – but if you are looking for something moving, passionate and explosively emotional, then this is the play for you. Three […]

You are ushered into a dark room and told to sit next to a corpse. The motionless figure is lit up by two rows of candles, each one flickering and letting off an uncomfortable smoky smell. It reminds you of a room in Madame Tussaud’s where all the disembodied wax figures hang from the ceiling. […]

An origami convention sounds like something for the professionals to show their skills and share information only experts can understand – but prepare to be surprised.

They impersonate you for entertainment, and tell other people about you – but not as much as Party At My House does. […]

In a far-off land, on the Greek island of Lesbos, a handful of priestesses perform their “sacred service” for the slightly unconventional goddess of love, Aphrodite – but when the women in the temple find that there are no men left to get work from, they must use unconventional means to find new clientele. From […]

It’s not an uncommon story: big business/progress/industry comes to a small town and things change. Some people ride the sparkling wave of opportunity and prosperity and others are left behind.
