Swan Theatre Company present Double Bill: The Interview Stage by Chris Loft What would Helen Mirren Do? by Josie Melia 16th to 19th September at 7:30pm (Wednesday to Saturday)

The Interview Stage by Chris Loft

Martin Brown has an interview for a new teaching position. He's ready for anything. He's thought through the questions they're likely to ask him. But is he ready for a job interview that feels more like a police interrogation? Is he ready to face up to secrets from his past? Is he ready for Brass and Squires? One way or another, they will get their man and Martin Brown is about to endure the toughest interview of his life. The Interview Stage is a new one-act play about teachers, those they teach and those they answer to. Chris Loft's first play is a comedy with a hint of malice and has reached the final of the British Theatre Challenge.

What Would Helen Mirren Do? by Josie Melia

Susan has worked at a supermarket in Oldham most of her life. Busy with her job, her kids and her elderly mother, she's never given much thought to role-models until she's training for promotion and is forced to adopt one. But her life changes dramatically when she starts to ask herself, 'What would Helen Mirren do?'
One actor takes the role of Susan, her boss, her management trainer, her grown-up kids and a host of other characters in Josie Melia's funny and moving play.
