Airswimming
By Charlotte Jones
Fri 16th - Sat 17 October
7.45pm
Two moral imbeciles, one peroxide blonde wig, Doris Day and a curious take on synchronised swimming combine in this delightful, moving and entertaining play.

Persephone and Dora are imprisoned in St Dymphna's Hopsital for the Criminally Insane. In the stark, unforgiving landscape of the asylum, the two women find ways to survive the madness. They create a world of imagination that jumbles their histories and fantasies, their reality with the make believe of what might have been.

Coming Up...
The House Of Bernarda Alba
By Frederico Garcia Lorca

Tuesday 27 October - Saturday 31 October
7.45pm
Lorca’s tense tale of a tyrannical and sexually repressed matriarch and her daughters is on one level an allegory of a Spain under Catholicism and Franco’s fascist forces – a culture that was to see Lorca murdered for his politics and his sexuality just after he wrote this play
‘’not a breath of air will get in this house from the street." Bernarda tries to create a barrier between her family and the men of her town. While doing that her masculine persona becomes more and more apparent. Bernarda, rules over her house and five daughters, cruelly crushing their hopes and needs. Her obsession with ‘What the neighbours will say’ contributes to the black pain of the Andalusian family and the tragic consequences.
