Mercy by Lin Coghlan

Deccy and Mac want to disappear. Cookie wants his Mum. Terry and Jean are running away together. Rory is just running. White dust is falling. Manchester is sinking and it is too late for regrets.

Mercy is an epic and visionary play is which a group of mismatched characters are thrown together by decisions they face as they leave a city ravaged by unexplained flood and fear.

Ladybird by Vassily Sigarev

In a run down block of flats in deepest Russia 19 year old Dima is about to leave for the army. But before he does he's determined to throw a party...

Ladybird is the bittersweet tale of Dima, who is awaiting the arrival of his friends for a farewell party on the eve of his call-up to join the Russian army, probably in Chechnya. He is accompanied by his furniture-munching junkie friend, Slavik, and his drink-sozzled father, aptly named The Waster.

Our production of Ladybird by Vassily Sigarev won 'Best Drama Production' at Buxton Fringe Festival in July, while Dean Aspen secured the award for 'Best Actor'.
