A Dog’s Life
by Pam Valentine
In It’s a Dog’s Life we meet Fifi, a once pampered French poodle, Fritz a fierce German Shepherd guard dog; Ben a faithful old dog, and Ginger – a most delightful bouncy Pekinese puppy always on the lookout for food or her family.
These four dogs lie in cages in an animal shelter. A Dog's Life depicts the moment when a woman comes to the shelter and has to choose between the dogs — a choice that literally means life or death to the oldest, Ben.

In Sickness and in Health by Tom Casling
A play about an elderly couple Tom and Val Braithwaite and Val’s experience as her husband starts to display the early signs of dementia. The play is told almost in the style of Shirley Valentine and is played directly to the audience with Val stepping in and out of particular scenes as she tells the audience her story. The scenes depict Tom at various stages in the dementia process and the story is based on the actual experiences and feedback of partners of people with dementia.

A Cut Above The Rest by Cheryl Barrett
Dark secrets hidden in the grey mists of time are reluctantly revealed in this black comedy. Set in a small village in 1880’s Russia, Anya and Sonia are goaded into recollecting some things they’d rather forget from their earlier years, upon the bizarre discovery of an empty coffin in Anya’s lodgings. Two women, sisters who have withheld dark secrets from each other for over twenty years which now gradually become revealed during the course of the play. The script is fresh and witty and the plot as it unfolds has many surprises...
The attic of the family home in Ireland, once a playroom, is the setting for this sinister play by Geraldine Aron. Awaiting the death of their father, the sisters talk about their unhappy lives long into the night. They initially pass the time with petty rivalries and jokes but as the night progresses, the mood shifts, the conversation becomes darker and then the sisters begin to act out a repressed, violent memory from their childhood…

The over fifties club pantomime group in Wowham-In-The-Stalls are meeting to discuss their next pantomime. Dominant organiser Jack, who writes directs and constantly rubs the others up the wrong way, has decided on swingeing budget cuts, much to the consternation of well-established divas in the group. Jack has also decided that younger people should be allowed to take part, further upsetting the status quo. The Vicar's attempts to calm troubled waters are increasingly ineffective as turmoil reigns in this one act comedy.
