Cave Dream Synopsis:
Five spelunkers find themselves trapped in an invisible cage within a cavern. Suddenly, mysterious creatures emerge from the rocks and require the captors to state one absolute truth in order to free themselves and make it out alive. With each wrong answer, the invisible cage shrinks. Can the prisoners pull it off without killing each other first? |
The Tempest Synopsis:
The Tempest is a play about magic, betrayal, love and forgiveness. It is set on an island somewhere near Italy where Prospera, the one-time Duchess of Milan, and her beautiful daughter, Miranda, live with a sprite called Ariel and a strange wildman called Caliban. Prospera is a powerful magician who creates a storm, (or tempest), that sets the scene for the play. In the events that follow we see a plot to murder the Queen of Naples, a scheme to kill Prospera and a romance between Miranda and the Queen’s son, Ferdinand. In the end, will everyone be forgiven and able to set sail for home? |

Blue Stockings Synopsis:
A moving, comical and eye-opening story of four young women fighting for education and self-determination against the larger backdrop of women's suffrage.
1896. Girton College, Cambridge, the first college in Britain to admit women. The Girton girls study ferociously and match their male peers grade for grade. Yet, when the men graduate, the women leave with nothing but the stigma of being a 'blue stocking' - an unnatural, educated woman. They are denied degrees and go home unqualified and unmarriageable.
In Jessica Swale's debut play, Blue Stockings, Tess Moffat and her fellow first years are determined to win the right to graduate. But little do they anticipate the hurdles in their way: the distractions of love, the cruelty of the class divide or the strength of the opposition, who will do anything to stop them. The play follows them over one tumultuous academic year, in their fight to change the future of education.

Jerusha Abbott is a poor, teenaged orphan who has spent her life at the John Grier Home. An unnamed benefactor decides to send her to college to be educated as a writer. From a distance, Jerusha gets a brief glimpse of this mysterious benefactor as he leaves the orphanage. She notices his height and nicknames him ‘Daddy Long Legs’. Daddy’s only requirement for providing her the scholarship is that she write him a letter once a month. However, he will not write her back or reveal his identity. Although she knows that he will never respond to her letters, she grows more and more curious about this elusive and kindly “old” gentleman. Meanwhile, another relationship begins to develop in Jerusha’s life with Jervis Pendleton, a well-to-do uncle of one of Jerusha’s roommates. Through her monthly letters with Daddy and her growing intimacy with Jervis, Jerusha’s letters chronicle her growth from a doe-eyed orphan girl to a strong, independent woman. In the end, Jerusha also finds love with a man she never expected to enter her life. |
