A comedy double-bill of Stephen Fry's award-winning LATIN! OR TOBACCO AND BOYS and the world premiere of Duncan Ley's LAST DRINKS.

LATIN! OR TOBACO AND BOYS by Stephen Fry

Directed by Adam Spreadbury-Maher

In the Classics department of a late 1970’s prep school a young school master schemes to become headmaster, until his extra-curricular activities with a 13 year-old pupil are uncovered by his rival senior colleague. A high speed comedy of buggery and blackmail ensues - this is vintage Fry at its very best.

LAST DRINKS by Duncan Ley

Directed by Nathan Godkin

Drinking their way through the last barrel in an East End pub, four motley boozers stave off closing time with bizarre explorations of their absurd existence. Meanwhile the clock ticks on and the wind outside threatens oblivion. Where has their memory gone? Why are they so lucid after a whole barrel of ale? Is the landlady really the landlady?... Is it last drinks yet?

"Green is a stand-up audience's dream; his off-the-cuff jokes are so good they could have been scripted, and his clever prepared material is delivered so nonchalantly it could have been improvised... an explosion of comedy that left everyone in stitches" ***** Three Weeks, May 2009

THE WRONG SLEEP tells the story of a woman plagued by insomnia, the demons in her mind and the demons of her past. It is during these sleepless nights that violence and religion lure her towards committing acts of terrifying brutality. Violence and sex are the only ways in which Janet feels she can communicate with the world. This surreal play is inspired by true events and explores the themes of religion, violence, female sexuality and religion.
