1,2,3. sh*t. that's my OCD.
In a world full of ugliness, desperation and people touching you with dirty hands, OCD became Tina's coping mechanism. Not your typical OCD of every day. Instead, it's the OCD that tangles inside your stomach and shows-up inside your head non-invited. She tries to hide her symptoms, for example touching things 3 times, but it's in her DNA and to her discomfort the world starts noticing it. But relax. It's a comedy. Fine, a tragicomedy.
A monologue full of 1, 2, 3's, changing from verse to prose and prose to verse where Tina deconstructs the reasons why and how she lives with this condition. In this short play we focus on the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder of violence and sexual abuse, which worsened this young girl's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and developed it to a place where she didn't feel "normal".

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.
