Synopsis'Matryoshka' aims to illustrate the conflicting humanity and brutality at the heart of a seemingly cold and aloof legal system, and its effects on those within it. Locked in an increasingly acrimonious divorce battle, a couple are compelled to hire two ambitious lawyers to help resolve the impasse. Instead of offering the solution, however, the warring pair drag their legal counsel into the fraying web of their relationship. While the legal game plays out Luke, a teenager struggling with bipolar disorder, decides to wean himself off his medication. With his state of mind unravelling his mother is forced to act as he progressively becomes isolated from those around him. As the six manoeuvre around each other, each tries desperately to keep control of their own worlds and all risk fuelling the chaos. And as the divorce case darkens the lawyers have to decide how far they can go before they too are implicated.

SynopsisComedian Bennett Arron was in serious debt. He owed thousands of pounds to mobile phone companies, catalogues and department stores. Only it wasn't him. Bennett was a victim of Identity Theft. Bennett talks about his experience and explores with humour and pathos the devastating repercussions of this so called 'Victimless Crime.' In Bennett's own case, he lost everything and he and his pregnant wife became penniless and homeless - which isn't necessarily the funniest part of the show!

SynopsisAggie and Ernestine are best friends. Playing together in their rural idyll, life couldn't be happier. That is, until their lives are shattered by violence. Aggie and her mother are forced to flee their homeland, leaving behind the rest of their family, and to Aggie's despair, Ernestine. Travelling from their central-African village, they make their way to the Promised Land - South Africa and its metropolitan hub, Cape Town.
Two actresses trace the story of Aggie and her mother as they travel across Africa to an alien environment. Using little, but multi-lingual spoken dialogue, the story is told through physical images and through the evocative musical text: a drawing of the pastoral village is burnt by hooded militia; pairs of shoes in the actors' hands trudge across sprinkled sand; and Cape Townûs skyline is revealed in wire mesh.
