"Jane Austen and Brett, a 21st century author of a certain kind of erotica, are both suffering from writer's block. In this entertaining "period" piece, their efforts to try something new - Brett the limpid romance, Jane the steamy scene - come to life as they speak. The result is uncommonly funny, with writer Steven Dawson capturing beautifully Austen's formal prose, but with unexpected turns of phrase. Slapstick aside, Austen's quiet melancholy over-shadows the piece, and very effectively too.

IN THE BAKEHOUSE STUDIO THEATRE

Is our gender a "cage" that blinkers our experience of the world and each other?

How do we align the discursions of academia with the politics of today?

Have the examinations of the human condition offered by artists across all genres and all ages (from Greek tragedies through to our modern soap operas) resulted in any real changes to the way we structure our lives?

Renegade Productions examines these questions through a multi-disiplinary performance of drama, song, sound and movement.

"This play.....tells the real story of what was going on behind the scenes between Hamlet, his good mate Horatio, and....Ophelia. Lots of hanky panky seems to be the answer......." Cameron England - The Advertiser

If you were the last woman on earth, who would you choose for the last man? For poor Louise it’s not the gorgeous, intelligent man of her dreams. Instead, she is trapped with her rather unnerving work colleague Mark.  Louise (Hannah Norris) wakes to find herself with her work colleague, Mark, (Nick Pelomis) in his 1980s backyard nuclear bomb shelter. A terrorist ‘dirty bomb’ has gone off in central London and Mark has rescued Louise. Louise has no memory of the bomb going off at the pub where they were both drinking at the time or in fact how she got to the shelter.
