| Synopsis | Speaking in Tongues comprises a number of separate but interlinked stories. The plot has fidelity at its core. The play opens with two adulterous couples at their first encounters. Throughout the play we see the use of mirror imaging with duplicate yet contrasting scenes unfolding, each with contrasting characters interlocked in each other's fates. Relationships become entangled in a web of love, deceit, sex and death. Nine parallel lives – connected by four infidelities, one missing person and a mysterious stiletto. All are woven through a fragmented series of encounters, confessionals and interrogations. |

| Synopsis | Autobahn is a collection of plays that deal with some hardhitting subject matter with characteristically dark humour, presenting characters that audience members can simultaneously empathise with and be repulsed by. This is a production that revels in its ambiguity, with the lines blurred between good and bad, hero and villain, aggressor and victim. Each of the seven plays contains only two characters, and in four of them only one person speaks. |

These questions are explored in this new, modern adaptation of Sophocle’s story—Antigone’s last hour before her execution. The final acts of Antigone, Creon, and Ismene, are reflected through the storytelling of the Greek chorus as they ask us: What is this ancient story’s relationship to politics today? |

| Synopsis | Infinite Space Theatre's Macbeth is set behind the pristine closed doors of the City. Birnam Wood and Dunsinane Hill are two organisations engaged in a hostile takeover. The witches are police and journalists. Macduff is female, pushing for the representation on the Board which women so woefully lack. And Lady Macbeth plays her cards rather differently, using her husband as a vehicle to vault her desire for power. This is still a play about blood, only the way in which it is spilled has been updated and contemporised. |

| Synopsis | A polemical play and political satire on the arbitrary power of government agencies and the marginalization of the independent judiciary in the digital age. Dame Lansley May, UK Secretary of State for Healthy Minds, and aspiring Prime Minister, seeks to recruit Bavarian mercenary Dr N.H. Service as a consultant - to conduct experiments on patients and produce policy-based evidence for the British government’s risk-averse medical-surveillance technocracy, which is rapidly displacing liberal democracy and due process of law. Dr N.H. Service wants to close the gap between government ministers and the judiciary by arming the government with arbitrary powers to target dissident bloggers and climate protesters. Unfortunately, there is a mole in the Department of Healthy Minds, leaking documents to a radical Liberal MP, whom the anti-terror police would like to arrest. Dame Lansley thinks that with her specialist skills in medical surveillance technology, Dr N.H. Service may be able to assist in the hunt for the terrorist by screening her staff for depression and erectile dysfunction. |

While he is busy coping with his mum’s depression and his younger brother’s drug problem, he can feel his future slipping away.
