LIGHT TO CREATE SHADOW
by Sarah Elliot
A terrific new play from the writer of TAMMO and GUESS. In post apocalyptic Britain, two friends journey to a devastated London to try to find a young girl. Is she still alive? Is she trying to contact them or are her frequent text messages merely a blip in the damaged communications system? Sarah Elliot`s latest work is an unsettling and darkly comic play.

BEAR ALL
by Kate Bowman
A superb new comedy from the writer of OUT OF SIGHT,OUT OF MIND. Lyndsey owns an old-fashioned toyshop and is trying to keep it afloat in this modern age of internet shopping. As its values begin to collapse, will Lyndsey and her customers be able to keep in touch with technology and each other? Is one ever too old for a teddy bear?

TAKE ME TO THE VETCH FIELD
by Mike Witchell

NEEDLE TIME
by Derek Webb
A new production of another superb play from the ever popular Derek Webb. Rob Peters is an ageing local radio DJ who has spent his life spinning discs. He is happy and contented with his life until the station`s new recruit, Suzie, turns up eager to promote her brother`s new record. Derek Webb`s play blends rich humour with sharp observation.

MY LITTLE EYE
by Paul Lewis and Keith Rees
Bryn and Adam work on security surveillance at the Welsh Assembly. It is not an exciting job. "It is 99% boredom, relieved by 1% boredom". Nothing untoward ever happens....until tonight! A terrific new comedy from the Swansea-based writing team of Paul Lewis and Keith Rees.
