our writers for our next page2Stage

| Kayfabe
A working-class wrestling fanatic revisits his childhood through beat poetry, humour and memory. As long-buried truths begin to surface, he must untangle masculinity, trauma and identity, and decide whether he's ready to break kayfabe.

| Stick and Poke
Keir’s mum cares for his abusive grandfather, and she's struggling to manage at home and in her job as a train driver. So Keir makes a plan: he's going to chuck a sheep at the train she's driving so she can get a pay-out. Stephen, his best friend and not-quite-yet boyfriend, is going to help.

| Constance
Annie, a rebel with too many causes, takes inspiration from a journey through the life story of her great grandmother, Connie(domestic terrorist turned local treasure); working through what matters most to her, and what she is willing to do in the struggle to achieve it.

| Sam From Work
Losergirl Gebba discovers she is not the only autistic person in the office - but plots to make it so. Taking inspiration from Uncle Vanya and John Carpenter’s The Thing, SAM FROM WORK takes us on a freaky and vulnerable odyssey towards authentic connections with our peers, despite the terrors.
