The Rules have dictated Charlie and Murphy's lives since
they were born. There's a Rule for everything from how to
dress to what three sandwiches are allowed. But when the
siblings' Mother passes away, the pair have to decide which
parts of their reality they choose to accept, and which are
made to be broken. This quick-witted dark comedy explores
the themes of family conflict and childhood rules.

On a true crime film set, Shona and Christian are reenacting scenes as a victim and her abuser. As the pair
develop an undeniable attraction, unsavoury questions
hang unanswered in the air. This vital new play by Caroline
Lamb, dir. Helen Parry, asks how we can be role models,
allies, potential victims and spontaneous romantics at once.

Poetry doesn't have to wear jeans, you know. Join Bent
Key Publishing's rostered femme poets for 90 minutes of
powerful feminist energy delivered in a haze of glitter and
tulle. This isn't your grandma's afternoon tea - this is a riot of
opinion, strength, political polemic and more. Just because
we look pretty doesn't mean we don't have something to
say - so come along and join in the fun. Black tie optional,
but always encouraged.
Howard and Geoffrey are two local police officers who don't
know how to office. Nine residents, one murder. Two actors,
nine characters. Trouble is easy to find, but a murderer isn't.
