The Ugly Truth

In a cruel world where everyone is judged by appearance, two unlikely friends tell it like it is –

Taking great pleasure in taunting and teasing – “cos it’s just a laugh” – until the tables are turned and the hurt they cause and the damage they do leads them to realised that maybe what’s on the inside counts too.

A provocative new play for teenagers from award-winning Welsh playwright, Gary Owen, and acclaimed director, Sarah Argent.

As the Sun Sets

 

As the Sun Sets

Directed by Kevin Lewis

The afternoon sun is sinking, colouring the sky with a reddish tinge as twilight approaches. Something is stirring … the fire crackles as the skies darken. We invite you to join us as we tell magical and spell-binding stories from countries we have visited around the world.

Finding Leaves For Soup

Created and Directed by Sarah Argent

An enchanting new show inspired by young children’s stories.

A tale of adventures in a forest … “It’s all trees and with stingies!”, of making mucky magic soup - for tomorrow, of sleeping in a scratchy tree - snoring like a camel, and of looking for owls and pandas … only pretend ones, of course!

 A delightful intimate performance with live music.

Marcos

 

Marcos

Following the mythical, yet true, story of a boy who grows up in the wild, but is later found and brought to the city to be 'tamed', Marcos challenges the younger audience to examine and question man's relationship to animals. As the tale unfolds, and Marcos relates his experiences, with the props around him transforming into animals, themes such as growing up, making sense of the world, and bullying are also explored.
