‘Citizenship’
by
Mark Ravenhill
A frank and confronting look at the confusions, desires and
anxieties of a teenage boy on a journey of self-discovery. Tom wants someone to
tell him who he is – is he straight, gay, bisexual? - and he is having a
recurring dream, in which he is kissing a shadowy figure. The only problem is
that he can't tell if the person is a woman or a man. This beautifully written
bittersweet comedy about growing up follows Tom's journey as he tries to discover
who he is.
Directed by Niall Cleary

‘Tusk Tusk’
by
Polly Stenham
Come on troops. Let's take check: Finbar,
slightly ruffled but still in fighting form. Maggie, could do with a full
night's sleep but otherwise all in order...
Stay here. Don't
answer the door.
A seven year-old boy, his teenage brother and his sister wait in a room with
the world on their shoulders. They joke, tease, spit like fireworks and laugh
like soul mates, and they just, keep, waiting. Waiting for the phone to ring.
She’ll be calling soon. She’s never left them alone for this long. Dancing a
fine line between hilarity and heartache, Tusk Tusk is the new offering from 22
year-old English sensation Polly Stenham, this is a haunting theatre experience
that will stay with you long after the performance has ended.
