Loveplay
by Moira Buffini
An amateur production by arrangement with United Agents.
Director: Tom Hunsinger
Designer: Adrian Gee
A medieval rapist, a lesbian nun and a scientifically curious spinster are only a taster of the range of characters in Moira Buffini's frank and witty comedy about love and desire. A single location provides the setting for 10 snapshots of life across two millennia of human society. At times comic and poignant, tender and brutal, Buffini deftly exposes the enduring truths about human desire and the excesses to which it leads us.
Originally commissioned for the RSC, Loveplay is both knowingly sexy and sharply philiosophical. Buffini's gentle humour and astute observations will strike a chord with anyone who's ever suffered from a bad case of love (or lust...).
Charley's Aunt
By Brandon Thomas
Director: Stephen Jameson
Designer: Adrian Gee
Oxford undergraduates Jack and Charley are in hot pursuit of the beautiful Amy and Kitty, respectively the niece and ward of local solicitor, Stephen Spettigue.
Desperate to secure their affections they arrange a lunch party and a chaperone in the form of Charley's aunt. However, when the boys' plan goes badly awry, the stage is set for a whirlwind of mistaken identity, frustrated desires and head-spinning revelations.
First performed in 1892, Charley's Aunt broke all records for its longevity and has since been subject to countless revivals, translations and Broadway productions.
The Waiting Room
By Lisa Loomer
An amateur production by arrangement with Josef Weinberger.
Director: Aaron Mullen
Designer: Adrian Gee
Victoria is hysterical, Forgiveness' toes are falling off and Wanda is having problems with her silicone breasts. Their ailments alone temporarily unite these women, from different centuries, in the collective purgatory of a doctor's waiting room. But as their empathy with each other grows, the wounds inflicted by the quest for female 'beauty' across the ages become frighteningly apparent.
Lisa Loomer's biting wit and astute theatricality presents these issues in the form of a dark, and heartbreakingly visceral comedy about beauty and its cost.
"Terrifically moving...there is no resisting the fierce emotional pull of the play".
(The New York Times)
