The Interview by Graeme Brookes: An absurd comedy with a biting political edge that will make you laugh, wince, cringe and scream. Papa by Sid Sagar: Exploring the troubled relationship between a father and a daughter, Papa questions notions of parenting, failure and masculinity, and asks whether we can ever truly overcome our past mistakes. NSA by Charles Entsie: A play about the conflict between doing what it takes to survive in the present, when also trying to secure something for your future. La Merde by Roberta Livingston: Chrissy, a black student who is obsessed with make-up, aspires to be as successful as her idol Allegra Aldridge, a YouTube beauty sensation. But as she delves into the growing beast that is the YouTube world she soon discovers the cracks that are hidden within it. Godfrey by Aisling Towl: Godfrey is set in an 'up and coming'/ gentrified South London restaurant, honing in on the kind of seemingly mundane conversations that expose the parts of ourselves we try desperately to hide UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=2046015 UR - https://rbdigital.rbdigital.com UR - http://www.vlebooks.com/vleweb/product/openreader?id=none&isbn=9781786827074 ER -
