A double-bill of two short plays.
ALBERT'S BRIDGE by Tom Stoppard
Philosophy graduate Albert finds his job as a bridge painter gives him a new perspective on life up high.
The year is 1968, and Clufton Bay is spanned by a huge cantilevered railway bridge which requires endless painting. Thanks to cutbacks, or rather, “efficiencies”- Albert is the only person left assigned to this herculean task. With a wife and child at home the question emerges: can he remain grounded in reality? From the writer of Shakespeare in Love and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.
Trigger Warning: this play includes conversations about suicide.
WOMEN ONLY by David Tristram
Family secrets and shocking revelations derail this hilariously disastrous family getaway.
Newly divorced Laura drags her recently widowed mum, Ruth, to a dreary holiday “chalet” for what’s meant to be a relaxing and restorative mother-daughter holiday. But as the rain pours and the gin flows, Ruth lets loose a litany of "truth-bombs" that blow Laura’s world to smithereens.
Written by the acclaimed author of The Extraordinary Revelations of Orca the Goldfish and the Little Grimley series.
