DONNY’S BRAIN
By Rona Munro
Directed by Anna Ledwich
22 September – 20 October

‘I can’t remember loving anyone but you. I can’t imagine loving anyone but you.’

Donny wakes in hospital, unable to recall the car accident, confused because the love of his life, Emma, isn’t at his bedside… and unable to recognise the strange woman in the room who can’t stop weeping. In Rona Munro’s funny and poignant love story, Donny might get a second chance to follow his heart – if only his head will let him.

BLUE SKY
By Clare Bayley
Directed by Elizabeth Freestone
25 October – 10 November

‘We’re the little people; there are things we’re not supposed to know.’

A fast-paced story about justice and journalism, Blue Sky investigates what might be happening in the English countryside in the dead of the night. Isolated airports, secret landings… how much do we really know about what our governments are involved in? And do we want to know – or is it easier to turn a blind eye?

A gripping new drama about Justice and Journalism from Clare Bayley winner of Amnesty International Award for her play The Container.
