A Little Local Flavour by our very own Saul Galloway
Nether Fiddlewood: a tiny countryside village where nothing happens… until something very messy does. One overconfident mountain biker takes a spectacularly bad turn, and the locals — instead of calling the police — decide to apply a bit of “creative problem solving.” Next thing they know, the bakery’s booming, the butcher’s smiling, and the village has become a “must-visit foodie destination” for reasons absolutely no one should ask about.
As word spreads about Nether Fiddlewood’s extraordinary “local flavour,” the villagers must either come clean… or double down. And let’s just say: this village does not do things by halves.
It’s a dark comedy about community spirit, terrible decisions, moral slippage, and very questionable cuisine. — with big characters, juicy roles, and plenty of opportunities to ham it up (pun absolutely intended). Come to the read-through and help us cook up something unforgettable.

Things I Know to be True
By Andrew Bovell
Directed by Ted Horton
The play looks at the challenges of keeping a family together, and the conflict between what parents want their children to be versus how they turn out.
A note from the playwright Andrew Bovell: “This is perhaps based on my own experience. I felt like I escaped the enormity of the familial love that I grew up with. It was wonderful but it was overpowering and came with certain obligations and responsibilities. I needed to move away, to a different city, to become the person I needed to be. And yet I have spent my life yearning for the thing I ran away from, and indeed in marrying and in having children I went about creating a very similar family structure to the one I escaped… loving, overwhelming, emotionally fraught but also perhaps a little claustrophobic and so now I have watched my children run away to become the people they need to be. This is how it is. This is the cycle of life. And so sometimes I feel like Bob, being left in the garden thinking where has everybody gone. And sometimes I feel like Fran and think, right, what next? Family? It’s nuts.”
