Sir Geoffrey and Lady Hilary, sleeping peacefully on their marble tomb these last six hundred years, are woken by the thump of rock music in the crypt beneath them…

A recorder quartet prefers listening to the sound of their own voices rather than the music they are playing…

Crossed wires in the cheese aisle at the supermarket…

A selection of short and witty scenes by renowned playwright Michael Frayn exploring relationships, communication and how neither of those things always go according to plan.

In addition, we present The Silver Star, an AlterNativity by Sasha Winslow.
