Tara by Naomi Elster

Tara wants to be normal. There are just two problems: her own body, and the rest of the world.
Fast-paced and funny, this one-act play explores the bizarre realities of dating in modern London, how women have to fight harder for their health, and how sometimes, when we look for happiness, we look in the wrong places.

Little Man by Deborah Perkin

Just landed in a refuge with his mum, 9-year-old Billy tries to make sense of the world with the help of a Tree Spirit, a Dragon, a Fire Fighter, and a dead Dad. Buckle up for a surreal tale of domestic abuse through the eyes of a child. This plea for adults to understand the damage their toxic relationships do to children is based on the writer's experience in women's aid work.
