Following on from 2022's 'Creative Streak', this was another opportunity to encourage our members to write and direct their own original short pieces. Again the range of themes, characters and theatrical styles made for a varied selection.

These incluced:

'Hoilday' by Marcus Scroop - a short, sung-through musical which followed a group of women who cover up the death of one of their friends

'Sol' by Rosalind Zalicks - a sci-fi genre piece where a the crew of a space vessel searching for a new planet to call home find somewhere strangely familiar

'Amok Time' by Marie Kearney - an exploration of a dystopian future where deceased relatives are kept alive in android form and the ruling government changes every few months
