2 One Act Plays:

The Crows of Darkmoor Common / Tracks

11-27 October, 2024

Tracks – Written by Peter Tarsi, Directed by Jonathan Canning

Ten strangers find themselves at a subway station, they have no idea of how they got there or where they are going…

Journey Beyond Life’s Last Station. Uncover the secrets, confront your past, and choose your platform – Heaven or Hell? The ultimate decision awaits as the train of fate arrives. All aboard for a gripping exploration of life, death, and the unknown.

The Crows of Darkmoor Common Directed by Jonathan Dunn

Welcome to Darkmoor, a comically dystopian world with steam punk vibes. In this odd 1860s setting, all words are banned for their ‘toxic effect’ on well-being. Amidst a diabolical plot to steal golden eggs from Ninja Nuns (Darkmoor Crows), an anti-hero and a heroine add romance to this unique theatrical nonsense. Get on board the express train to crazy-town in this all original, romp through the world of weird.

Pardon Me, Prime Minister

22 November – 8 December 2024

This play has nothing to do with the “Yes Minister” series it is a standalone very funny farce in its own right.

Imagine a government that wants to introduce strict budget measures on the country, not hard in today’s circumstances.

This is a government that wants to ban all outlets of enjoyment such as alcohol, gambling, clubs and those total dens of iniquity and vice….BINGO HALLS.

All is sailing smoothly until from left field comes a gorgeous lass claiming to be the PM’s daughter by an earlier liaison.

From then on chaos ensues including a nosy journalist and the real wife bustling around taking blood samples for a blood donor drive. Include the Chancellor’s female secretary having a tremendous crush on the PM’s male secretary and the so called daughter’s mum turning up and the plot thickens.

Then the end comes out OK with a very surprising turn to finish off.
