'Abigail's Party'

19th to 27th March
at 7.45pm

'Abigail's Party' is morbidly compelling. None of the characters seems to like each other; the relationships between the couples appear to be based on mutual irritation and all seem self-preoccupied.

'Stepping Out'

23rd April to 1st May
at 7.45pm

The play revolves around eight students, which all attend the same weekly tap dancing class in a dingy North London church hall. The students come to class every week to chat, relax and, if they can manage to, learn a couple of dance steps. However, the steps and routines are just the background for the real focus of the play, the relationships and interactions of these very different people.
