Safer
by Sarah Jane Dickenson
"If I hadn't got out of my car that day, I would not, absolutely not be here strutting my rugby fit bear body, wearing f**k-right-off amazing dangly earrings on the streets of Hull."
For Butterfly Boy - sitting alone in a Fiat 500 in the pouring rain - the reasons for joining a gay and inclusive rugby union team in a rugby league obsessed city didn’t seem that apparent. But once in the changing room a whole new world opens up.
Inspired by the true stories of International Gay Rugby players, SAFER is a hard hitting, tender and funny exploration of the toxic side of team sports and how one new team decided to tackle it head on.
The play runs for 60 minutes and there is a 15 minute Q&A after each performance.

by Joel Horwood
Set over one extraordinary day in an ordinary village, Wolves Are Coming For You explores just how much wild we're comfortable with, as a small community is forced to pull together against an invisible but potentially deadly threat.
Someone has seen a wolf. Where did it come from? How many are there? Someone must be able to do something about them. Otherwise, how will our children get to school?
Someone has seen a wolf! Or did they?
As the story spreads through the town over the following 24 hours, each of the characters is forced to confront their own demons and decide whether to fight or flee. And as the sun rises the following day, each of them is different in some way from the person they were the day before. Whether the wolves actually existed, we’ll never know – but they’ve served their purpose nonetheless.
