THE AMERICAN PILOT
by David Grieg
Directed by Adam Henderson

A spy plane crash-lands in a remote valley. The villagers take in the wounded pilot. The American Pilot explores the way the world sees America and the way an American sees the world. Playwright David Greig goes beyond specific politics to a potent parable of power, a concise, compact clash of cultures set in an unnamed country torn by civil war.
Premièred by the Royal Shakespeare Company in April 2005.

KINDERTRANSPORT
by Diane Samuels
Directed by Michael Fera
In the months before the outbreak of World War Two, close to 10,000 Jewish children were sent to Great Britain by their parents in order to protectthem from the Third Reich. While the intention was to reunite with their children in the future, many of these parents died in the concentration camps. This full length drama deals with themes of identity, loss and survival. Kindertransport tells the story of a tri-generational family of women and illustrates the lengths to which a parent will go in order to ensure the safety of her child and proves that compassion can cross national and cultural boundaries.
