I'm Not Being Funny
Piers Black

'I'm not gonna stand up in front of a bunch of strangers and tell stories about you and me.'

Billie's signed them both up for stand-up comedy. Tonight, she and her husband Peter are locking themselves in their living room until they've got it down: a 'tight-five' set that's a guaranteed knock-out.

With the clock ticking and nothing but a baby monitor for an audience, they go delving through their past for material. But as questions about their future are forced to…

STUCK
Megan Twycross

In a small-town supermarket deli, two nameless women — Young One and Old One — slice meat while cutting each other down. One clings to the old rules, the other longs for more. Beneath the fluorescent lights and refrigerator hum, their everyday tasks unravel into a battle of wit, will, and survival.

Slippery
Louis Emmitt-Stern

3 a.m. in a London flat. Jude and Kyle return from A&E. Jude has slipped, but they're both falling. A decade after their messy breakup, their surprise reunion threatens to undo them both.

Winner of Soho Theatre's Tony Craze Award, Louis Emmitt-Stern's Slippery is a hilarious and heartfelt play for two actors about ghosts, sex and spaghetti.

Do Not Pass Go
Jean Tong

Do Not Pass Go turns hustle culture inside out to ask: when the system is built to break you, what's left to hold onto?

A Ghost in Your Ear
Jamie Armitage

An actor arrives late at a sound studio for a last-minute job for which he is yet to see the script: an audiobook recording of a particularly chilling ghost story. But as the evening progresses, the horrors start to escape the pages of the story, and haunt the studio itself.

Lost Atoms
Anna Jordan

Lost Atoms is a wild ride through a life-changing relationship, or Jess and Robbie's recollection of it. Together they scale the soaring highs and crushing lows, relive the beats of connection, the moments of loss. But are their stories the same? And can their memories be trusted?

In the 1970s, one enigmatic old lady wielded extraordinary influence, fighting against what she believed was the UK's moral decline. Armed with only a typewriter, this seemingly harmless grandmother took on the BBC and the 'godless media' in a culture war that divided the nation.

Inspired by real events, Caroline Bird's wickedly funny play delves into Whitehouse's most explosive battle – her infamous blasphemy trial against Gay News – and explores her formidable…

Born With Teeth
Liz Duffy Adams

Christopher Marlowe – rockstar of Elizabethan theatre and notorious spy for the Crown – danger and seduction combined. William Shakespeare – jobbing actor and promising young playwright – dazzled by Marlowe, but with ambitions of his own.

When the pair meet in the backroom of a pub to collaborate on a cycle of history plays, tensions rise as they navigate the perils of art under an oppressive regime, and flirt like young men with everything to…

Radha and Ryan
Nick Parsons
A white man stops a student. Different people from different worlds. The same gnawing fear. ‘Men are seriously confused and angry – but when men get angry they want to hurt someone … And mostly the first person they hurt is themselves.’
Green Park
Elias Jamieson Brown

Green Park, picturesque by day, a little eerie by night. It’s where Warren and Edden are meeting, as a prelude to their Grindr hook up. One of them doesn't look like his photo. There's an age gap between them (but what's a decade or three?). And one is harbouring a dangerous secret. In an hour's time, both will leave the park profoundly transformed.
