Two new plays about loss and redemption.

The Distressed Table

Christine visits Bernards furniture shop and spots a coffee table she decides to buy. She insists, however, on certain conditions which Bernard, finds unacceptable.

As the two haggle over its quality and price, the distressed table, having drawn them together, seems to underline the distress in their lives.

Will it also be pivotal in changing their lives as both of them desperately need to move on?

Quest for the Mongolian Death Worm

From Greenwich Hill to the Gobi Desert three strangers join forces to hunt down the mythical Mongolian Death Worm.

Around campfires, under desert stars, lost in sandstorms and frozen canyons, their deadly quest tests each of them to their limits as their demons surface out of the unforgiving desert. Will they perish or will they find the strength to face up to the most terrifying monster of them all?

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
