Priory Productions present two short plays by Jane Shephard, directed by Ian Pons Jewell.

"Friends of the Deceased" with Sarah Burke and Kelly Stone.
Two very different women find themselves side by side at a grave,
both mourning for very different reasons but looking for the same thing, their spirit.

"Nine" with Eileen Cooney and Sara James.
Together in a "hell" and all they have is each other, their words and their souls.

Life is not free from pain, and neither are these plays. But they are also filled with
beauty and hope, and they are an insight into the strength of the human spirit.

A new work Jet Lag Waltz, a commission by Ready Fire Aim from John Grogan will have its world premiere this April in Smock Alley Theatre. Through this one hour play, Jet Lag Waltz, the audience catches a glimpse at what's underneath one woman's attempts to be all things to all people via the 3 conflicting facets Kat/Katie/Kate.
