Last night we began with Make Up by Terry Adlam, then ‘Lions and Donkeys by Steve Harper with the final play Strictly Sex Factor on Ice by David Tristram; so we saw a murder, a battle and another disaster in Little Grimley.

Robert Meadows(GoDA Adjudicator) made us think about where the characters had come from and where they were going to and whether the characters truly breathed. In all a memorable and enjoyable evening rounded off with lively discussions in the Green Room.

Tonight we open we open with Eugene O’Hare’s Hospital Food, dealing with difficult issues. Next Chris Maybury’s Spelling it Out brings a Faustian touch to school examinations and finally What Are You Doing Here? by David Campton examines the way chaos erupts volcanic style from an almost benign catalyst.
