Don't Be A Stranger
written by charlie Douglas, with help from Jay Langley
Ash moved away from Cornwall 5 years ago from their small village named Trewith, but now they're back to mourn the life of their friend Tom during a wake in a pub that's all to familiar. And the bartender; an old distant flame, Bry, burned out from shame.
But one thing's missing from the speeches, the songs, the memories of their dear friend. Tom was gay. Tom was too afraid. Tom had a boyfriend. A beautiful boyfriend. Tom couldn't handle it. And that's why the korev is being poured.
In this new short play, Ash finds it hard to face grief in the face in a place filled with incomplete stories and memories which they can't say. Is it easier to die and live a life of truth or stay, but never live. But one thing's for sure, and that's...
Don't be a stranger, ok?

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.
