Hobson's Choice
by Harold Brighouse
11th - 15th May 2004
Henry
Hobson has three daughters, good intentions and a fondness for the Moonraker's
Inn. Maggie Hobson, the eldest daughter, has a head for business, a will of her
own and won't take any nonsense - especially from her father. When Maggie
strikes an unusual partnership with lowly bootmaker Willy Mossop, sparks fly.
This enduring comedy ranks among the great 20th century plays.
Sticky Fingers
by Tony Glover
The People's Play 2004
27th April - 1st May, in the
Studio Upstairs
The People's Playwriting
competition celebrates its 6th successful year and continues to promote
excellent new writing talent in the North East. Tony Glover's play is set in a
Young Offenders' Institution, where a young man takes his art teacher hostage.
The negotiations for her release reveal much about the lives of all involved. A
tense, slightly surreal, drama.
Trainspotting
Adapted by Harry Gibson from the novel by Irvine Welsh
9th - 13th March 2004
Trainspotting is the story of Mark and his so-called friends - a bunch of
losers, liars, psychos and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, the play charts the
disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably,
towards self-destruction.
Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate, but then again
does he really want to 'choose life'?
