Glengarry Glen Ross
by David Mamet
"A man should be his job"
Glengarry Glen Ross is a Pulitzer prize-winning play by American master of suspense, David Mamet. The story is set in 1980s Chicago and concerns four real estate agents and their desperate attempts to sell as many holiday homes as they can, in order to win a sales contest.
The terms of the contest are straightforward: the top salesman at the end of the month has been promised a free Cadillac, second place wins a set of steak knives, and the bottom two get rather unceremoniously fired.
But with so much at stake, not everyone is happy to play by the rules...
First performed in 1983 at the National Theatre in London, the play has since been turned into an Oscar-nominated 1992 film starring Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey and Jack Lemmon.
Disclaimer: This production contains strong language throughout.
A Separate Peace
by Tom Stoppard
When John Brown checks into a private hospital, the Doctors are confused: he freely admits that there's nothing wrong with him. As the staff tries to find out the identity of the mysterious guest (fugitive? forger? eccentric millionaire?) he transforms his room into a huge artwork and gets closer to one of the Nurses. But it's only a matter of time before he gives too much away and is forced to confront the past he's been hiding from.
The Book Club Of Little Witterington
by Joan Greening
The regular ladies of the village Book Club, all friends since school, are wary of letting a newcomer to the village join. But there's more to Londoner Paula than meets the eye, and she may even have what it takes to get around the appallingly snobbish Belle. A comedy about friendship, pretensions, books, vicars and cake.
