‘Separate Tables’ - Dir. Shane Anthony & Janine Watson

Role: John Malcolm

Separate Tables by Terence Rattigan is set in a quiet, modest hotel in Bournemouth, England, where lonely and troubled guests gather, each carrying their own burdens and desires. The play comprises two acts, Table by the Window and Table Number Seven, each focusing on different residents whose lives intertwine. In Table by the Window, Ann Shankland unexpectedly reunites with her ex-husband, John Malcolm, a troubled man haunted by his past. Their encounter reopens old wounds and exposes the unresolved tensions between them.

In Table Number Seven, Major David Pollock, a lonely man masking his insecurity with fabricated stories of military glory, is publicly disgraced after an accusation surfaces. Amid the scandal, he finds empathy in the shy, timid Sibyl Railton-Bell, who is tightly controlled by her domineering mother. Through these characters, Rattigan explores human vulnerability, the pain of isolation, and the universal longing for acceptance and understanding.

‘Evol’ - Dir. Jules Billington

Role: Ensemble

Love: look at it backwards, look at it forwards, flipped on its head, look at it through memories, through hindsight, through rose coloured glasses, from the other side of the train tracks… whatever way you look at it, LOVE makes the world go ‘round. But what IS it? And why does it feel so different to so many people? 

Love has been examined by art for millennia. Love is obsession. Love is survival. Love is safety. Love is torture. Love is butterflies. Love is a brick wall. It turns the rational irrational, cowardice to bravery, and delighted to depressed. Love is something we seemingly never get ‘right.’ Miscommunications, unread signals, ignored promises, fading sparks, missed moments, crushing expectations, and feelings we take to the grave - yet never speak aloud.  EVOL is LOVE jumbled up. Welcome to our theatrical experience; far from being a literal play, EVOL exists as a series of vignettes about love - what it is and what it isn’t - in all its glory and awkwardness.
