Back for their reunion, three twenty-somethings rediscover their old sixth form classroom. Ten years prior, we see them preparing to leave school, joking amongst each other and debating their futures. Experience a funny and scabrous look at teenage idealism - where it comes from, where it goes, and what it means to keep it alive.

Punk rock fantasist, Cavale, has kidnapped washed-up rocker, Slim, in a desperate attempt to make him her "rock-and roll Jesus with a cowboy mouth". But record sales will not decide his fate - or that of Cavale's new saviour.

In a motel room outside Oklahoma City, a lonely waitress hiding from her abusive ex-husband is joined by a soft-spoken young drifter who might be an AWOL Gulf War veteran. And then they see the first bugs…
 

Two individuals grapple with an absence…
What is it that lurks behind the apocalyptic sky?
Beneath the skirt, behind the mask? In the absence of all else? Fear.
A theatrical construction exploring the construction of the self.

Hester Collyer is trapped. Torn between her well-respected but utterly  passionless husband, and the young, charming pilot who is incapable of ever loving her, Hester’s crisis drives her to the very edge.
Set amid the domestic claustrophobia of a North London lat in the  early 1950s, but just as relevant today, the play explores our relation to our desires, our conceptions of love and how society looks upon those it cannot understand.

Emma’s been seeing Darren. She thinks she’s in love. Her boss thinks she’s in breach of contract.

An ink-black comedy about the boundaries between work and play.
 

After stand-up adventures in Edinburgh, Los Angeles, Montreal and Loughborough, Ivo Graham (So You Think You're Funny? winner 2009, Chortle Best Newcomer nominee 2010) bids the dreaming spires farewell as he prepares to graduate and chase the comedy bandwagon for real. Mawkish nostalgia. Misguided optimism. Minimal swearing.
