Description

Candlewasters’ Company presents ‘The Spring Showcase’

New Writing, New Acting, New Theatre.


Rope, by James Harvey - Two philosophy students decide to commit the perfect crime - killing their friend - and immutably decide to have a dinner party. Unfortunately, a lot of things go wrong.

Garibaldi, by Anna Yarwood - Alan seems to do everything around the house; everything except eat the biscuits, that is.

It Is What It Is, by Noah Sarvesvaran - One person on a ladder and one person tied down disagree on who has the right view. An absurdist piece exploring perspective and privilege.

Eurydice, by Rhodd Friswell - Eurydice has run away into the underworld- a student house party- will Orpheus be able to save her again?

Champagne & Shackles, by Abbie Strain - It is New Year’s Eve, and Andrew has a plan to get his crush Beth to fall in love with him: Champagne and Shackles. Little does Andrew know, Beth is already seeing someone, and that someone may be closer to him than he thinks…

THE NOW NEWS FOREVER, by Sparkle Siefert - In Sport: Our recommendation for the 2.30 is that one of the horses will win. Back to you, Mr Nick Haemoglobin.
