Lay Me Down Softly
Billy Roche

Set in rural Ireland of the early 1960s, Lay Me Down Softly introduces the colourful if seedy burlesque that is Delaney's Travelling Roadshow – and in particular its boxing hall, where prizefighter Dean takes on all comers on a nightly basis. That is, until a challenge from a professional fighter upsets the apple-cart…

Overspill
Ali Taylor

In Bromley every Friday night, same time and place, Potts, Baron and Finch get ready for their weekly dose of booze, birds and burgers. But their night out takes a dramatic and terrifying twist when an explosion rocks the town centre, and a suspicious population points the finger at them.

St Petersburg comprises three scenes involving three characters, an old man, his middle-aged daughter, and a ten-year-old boy. Limbo is a monologue in which a 17-year-old girl tells us the story of her relationship with an older man and what it led to. Catherine Medbh is a bittersweet and hesitant duologue in a bar between a youngish man and woman who are ex-lovers.
