Dracula
Bram Stoker Adapted by Liz Lochhead

Acclaimed poet and playwright Liz Lochhead's Dracula stays refreshingly close to Bram Stoker's classic novel.

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.

Beautiful Words
Sean Riley

An epic chronicle of the refugee experience, Beautiful Words weaves together three very different stories of survival, told through the eyes of three children in different times and place. From the horrors of Auschwitz Concentration Camp in the final days of World War II, to Taliban-ruled Kabul, to present day Australia.

Hitler's Daughter: the play
Eva Di Cesare, Sandra Eldridge, Tim McGarry, Jackie French

Four country children waiting in the rain for the school bus take turns telling stories. In an unusual twist, Anna's story takes the children to Nazi Germany and an intriguing tale about Heidi, a young girl caught in the turmoil of World War II, whose father was one of the most dreaded men in history.

In the 1870s a girl is born under a tree—her birth tree—chosen to give her strength and wisdom. When the tree is cut down she follows it into the white man's world, working as a cook for the big house on the island. Her tree has become a kitchen table. Now, generations later, a young man and his mother fight for ownership of the table.

A tender and funny play about growing up in Romford in the shadow of Canary Wharf.

It emerges that the younger sister, Mary, has killed the child soldier. She is to be stoned to death...
