The Book Group:
ADC Theatre Cambridge (rehearsed reading) June 2010.
Directed by Michelle Golder
Cast: Geraldine….. Debbie Gallagher

Geraldine likes to think of herself as the Margaret Thatcher of the Literary World so it is only natural that she should be in charge of the book group. But how will she cope with the other members who want to read Virginia Woolf while she herself favours Jackie Collins? And will she be able to hold on to her leadership or will she be challenged by the likes of Roger and Sonia?

Bill -  Stuart Sessions

July:                  Directed by Hugh Allison
Andy – Duncan Armitage
Bill – Stephen Chance

Andy is on a roof about to jump off when Bill arrives and stops him. Bill wants the roof for himself so he can sing opera without anyone hearing him. What is Bill avoiding with his strange and often hilarious banter with Andy? And what is it that really connects the two men? This play asks the question – is life worth living, as Andy likens himself to Sisyphus coming round every year on his birthday to try and kill himself. Will this be the year when Andy finally jumps?

Alice and Simon visit their neighbour, Pete, with a petition objecting to his obscene behaviour.  But he claims he is a harmless naturist. But Simon is the local surveillance officer and his cameras are pointing at Pete’s garden. Whose privacy is at risk? Do Simon’s cameras protect society or intrude on it? And why does Pete seem to be attracted to the rather dotty Alice?

Hothouse:
York University 2006
Produced by the Real People Theatre Company
Directed by Sue Lister
Performed by members of the company.

In this allegory of global warming, three women are getting very warm indeed in the room they are in charge of. There is litter everywhere and the plants need watering but Vera seems to be doing all the work while one of the other women just organises endless protests and the other collects statistics just to prove how hot they are. As if they didn’t know! Will they ever stop arguing and sort their mess out?

The Glenn Miller Neurosis Programme:

Produced by Cardboard Dreams Productions
Directed by Christine Lohr
Cast:    Gloria …. Maggie Stride
Susan……Victoria Kempton
Lucy…….Kirsten Parks

Susan is stuck between sorting out the problems of her teenage daughter and caring for her elderly very forgetful mother. In this play about the sandwich generation, Susan deals with her stress by shouting out her confessions to the sound of her mother’s Glenn Miller records. Will Susan be able to look after her own needs or is she destined to be a martyr and slave? Perhaps Glenn Miller will help all three women as they try and dance their way through life.

Will Barbara help Amy see parenting in a different light?
