Don't miss some of Bristol's finest writers bringing their new ideas out of the closet and into The Wardrobe Theatre. Warning: Scratch may or may not feature tin foil hats and a whale in the River Avon. Mon: Cry to Me by Miriam Battye - Two teenagers cling on to each other as their lives thread apart in a weird and wonderful explosion of a play about loving, lying and the size of the cosmos. The House My Mother Owned by George Nichols - Josef's brother is living in the spare room, you wouldn't notice he's there. He doesn't leave the house, he never comes out for meals, just leaves his plates by the door and reads his books. People are beginning to talk. Tue: The Overnight to Saint John by Rajiv Karia - The farcical tale of Alfonso and Randall and their exploits and misadventures on a sleeper train. Paradise by Jacob Frederickson - Alex, Mattie and Isaac live a fragile existence in a peculiarly posh house. As cracks begin to appear, they are forced to examine what or who they hold dear. Wed: Angel by Marietta Kirkbride - Chris and Delyth grew up playing un bands together: folk bands, rock bands, metal bands - all a different arrangement of the same group of friends. But now it's just Delyth and Chris in Abergavenny and everyone has long since left. Chris feels frustrated, Delyth despondent and trapped. Fortunately for both of them, Chris has a plan... I Can Get Along without Shoes on My Feet by Fiona Mackinnon - Taking the quote "the best classroom in the world is at the end of an old person's bed" as a starting point, a verbatim piece exploring ageism in our society. Freedom by Theo Scholefield - As the moon comes out by the Thames, two women grapple with forces that they can't understand. Freedom is a tiny epic about parents and children, belief and forgiveness, love and toilet seats. Olwyn J'Taime by Ollie Jones Evan and Lara Taylor - A hilarious fictional romp through Paris with Oliver's aunt, Olwyn.
