STAND UP - A short visit to London in 2000 went very wrong for Lewis Schaffer when love and marriage took him from his beloved New York. Moving over the pond in the wrong direction (his words) meant swapping his life in The Big Apple for children, divorce and heartache in the UK. Now trapped in a multi-occupancy council flat in Nunhead, a suburb of Peckham, Lewis is making the very best of a very bad situation. SIT DOWN - The Starship Now Arriving at....is a new comedy by local writer Graham Pears. An everyday story of brotherly love, infidelity and obsessions as two men wait on a lonely park bench for the woman that never comes - or does she? Northern Bites is a Northumberland Venues' initiative supported by Arts Council England and New Writing North.
