Heart Throb

Inspired by true events, Heart Throb, is a play about grief, love, and chance. At the site of a horrific triple murder, a family forms out of a shell-shocked teenage boy, his well-meaning girlfriend and the couple who bought his house. Coloured by infrared vision, scratch cards and a dead moose, Heart Throb fuses elements of surrealism and poetry into an event too realistic to believe" (30 minutes)

Concrete Monsters

"I've never liked Alice. I know she's your sister and I'm here, I'm at her wedding. But I shouldn't have to pretend to like her." So starts Concrete Monsters, and a one-man show about Eric's attempt to navigate the messy terrain of his crumbling life. (10 minutes)
