THE CREATORS
by Deanna Strasse
Five of the world’s greatest dramatists find themselves trapped. Is this Hell? Is it purgatory? All that they know is that they cannot leave. Arthur Miller, Sophocles, William Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov, and Henrik Ibsen must face questions of artistry, integrity, and why some voices are remembered and others are lost to time.

EXPLODING HEAD SYNDROME
by Marcus Reeves
Hypochondriac Martin doesn’t want to leave the flat. George (his virtual assistant who has inexplicably come to life) has other ideas. Is Martin right to avoid reality? Or is it time to finally come out of hiding? Was that massive bang just a symptom of his ‘Exploding Head Syndrome’? Or something more sinister?
A darkly comic one act play exploring the modern epidemic of loneliness.
Tickets are £3 with an optional donation at checkout.
New Stuff finishes at approximately 7:45pm, but we welcome all to join us for continued conversations in the bar downstairs.
Tickets are strictly limited, so booking in advance is highly recommended. Please note that the event takes place in one of our studios space, which is only accessible up a spiral staircase.
