AFTER JULIET

by Sharman MacDonald

Directed by Olly Hawes

Designed by Amy Yardley

After Juliet is set immediately after the tragic end of Romeo and Juliet. An embargo on weapons is being enforced but the feud between the young Capulets and Montagues is simmering…how much longer can this uneasy peace last? A powerful and vivid play with a contemporary take on love, death, war and peace.

BELONG

by Colette Kane

Directed by Jen Camillin

Designed by Amy Yardley

Composed by Jack Kingslake

Rehabilitation comes in the form of a Shakespeare play for a group of young people caught up in the 2011 riots. Disillusioned with the State and dejected by the portrayal of them by the media, can they seize this moment to create their own sense of worth and show the world who they really are? Or will the pressure of mounting a production become too much and end in disappointment?

Belong is a tale of discovery and freedom, choice and responsibility.
