Synopsis A varied programme of new writing by members of the Company of Ten Writers Group. Having gone through our New View process with a rehearsed reading, these one-act plays have their first public performances with two plays each night. Thursday 29 October 2026 Come In No. 8 by Marc Harris: After being admitted to hospital, can Barbara do what no-one else has done and find fellow patient Charlie accommodation to go home to? Directed by Beverly Hyman Content Warning: Fleeting mentions of suicide twice and depictions of mental illness throughout. Ready to Go by Polly Alexander and Becky Alexander: Mum and daughter decide to have a Race Across the World-inspired adventure together, before daughter leaves home. How will that pan out? Directed by Maureen Bukht. The writer has developed this 1 act play from a short piece called “Bags Packed” which has previously been performed. Friday 30 October 2026 Gerald by Jane Fookes: when Adrian brings his girlfriend to meet his old dad Gerald for the first time a very black comedy ensues. Directed by Deborah Heath.
