Synopses for Stagewrite Spring announced

Stagewrite has been a firm favourite in The Place calendar for several years now, often playing to sold out audiences. We are delighted to be able to share the synposes for the two plays to be performed this March.

The Good, The Bad and The Watsons by Jenny Devaux and Phil Butcher


Entry into Heaven isn’t easy these days, especially for the Watsons. Budgets, equal
rights and complex admin present challenges …and that’s just for the staff! Can
Sandra and Colin navigate the red tape before passing through the hallowed portals?
And in so doing, what will they discover about each other even in the afterlife? This is
a heavenly comedy with some hellish revelations…


Suggested age suitability 12+

The Meltdown by Angela Hunter


The outlook is dire.  Allowing humans to evolve had clearly been a terrible idea. 
Mistreated for decades, the habitat is a calamity waiting to happen and to add insult
to injury, the humans have introduced their own new species that no one seems to
know anything about.  She’ll have to wade in yet again and fend off total annihilation
of the natural world, but first she needs to resolve her impossible dilemma.  Does
every life form deserve to be saved?  Or is it time for her to remove the species that
will forever endanger all others?


Please be aware that this play includes strong language


Suggested age suitability 15+
