Spike
By Nick Newman and Ian Hislop
Full Length Play, Comedy
Cast: 7M, 3F
Spike is an absurdly funny new play by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman that delves into the inner workings of one of the UK's most unique and brilliantly irreverent comedy minds.
It's 1950s austerity Britain, and out of the gloom comes Goon mania as men, women and children across the country scramble to get their ear to a wireless for another instalment of The Goon Show. While Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers get down to the serious business of becoming overnight celebrities, fellow Goon and chief writer Spike finds himself pushing the boundaries of comedy and testing the patience of the BBC.

SHEWOLVES
Sarah Middleton
Full Length Play, Comedy, Present Day, New Millennium/21st Century
Cast: 2F
Ever though you should run the world, even though you're 'only fourteen and a girl'? Priya and Lou have. And they're ready to bite back against any adult who doubts them. Armed with a backpack full of Pop-Tarts and a hunger to tackle climate change, they embark on a covert expedition into the wild. But when the wilderness closes in around them, can Lou and Priya overcome their differences to make their voices heard?
SHEWOLVES is an uplifting, funny and empowering play about forging friendships when you're a bit weird, the power of hope and the underestimated smartness of teens.

G.O.D. (Good. Orderly. Direction.)
Lee Coffey
Full Length Play, Drama, Contemporary
Cast: 3M, 3F
G.O.D. (Good. Orderly. Direction.), guidance from a higher power, whatever helps you stay in active recovery from this day to the next. One day at a time. But what if it all starts to unravel? In the place you feel most protected. Recovery isn?t a straight line, it?s an elastic band. Which can snap back at any moment. Six people, all trying to take their lives back. Working through pain. Working through life. All they can do is, keep coming back.
G.O.D. (Good. Orderly. Direction.) is a raw, visceral new play about the struggles, uncertainty and monotony of recovery.
