Homecomings features premières of two new plays of addicts heading home to the people, places and things that landed them in trouble. These headline a month of plays, talks and readings.
GLORY WHISPERS
By Sonya Hale
Directed by Juliet Knight
21 February – 4 March
An unexpected reunion with Glory brings hope to Mina. If she can stay clean and Glory can bring up a kid then maybe even mad Jonno can fix up and they can be a family again. But sacrifices, secrets and survival can get in the way of your dreams.
THE MONKEY
By John Stanley
Directed by Russell Bolam
7 to 18 March
Tel’s left Bermondsey behind and only robs the occasional drum now. He prefers dealing in moody clobber from Deptford. But he’s got a screw loose and word’s out he’s a soft touch. Thick-Al owes him a monkey and he has to revisit old hunting grounds to collect.
