As part of our theatre makers course brand new writers and brand new directors brought together an evening of short plays all expressing slices of real life. From a robbery at a pizza shop to a woman buying a robot companion, to the youngest Brothel keeper and the first time a nurse meets death. Beautiful, funny and uplifting. Opening nights reviewed it as being a brave production that really worked.
