Universally Speaking - The Play

Welcome onboard the year 2015. It's dark, disturbing but often very funny. Please sit back and try to relax as five new playwrights guide you through the trials and turbulences of the 21st century. There are no emergency exits.

The evening will present five powerful and prize winning new voices of British theatre. Their premiere has been made possible by Simon Jay and Robert Holtom. A very special host will guide you through the evening's entertainment.

**Hole by Marietta Kirkbride - Josh is alone. The whole world is against him. Only Steve understands. Sit with Steve and listen as one man unburdens his woes.
**The 7–11 Butterfly Effect by Don Grimme - A teacher in the distant future tells their young students about the dark days of the early 21st century, a time shrouded in myth.
**Fat by Robert Holtom - A lone woman sits in a Tesco’s car park whilst contemplating her favourite foods, sexual predilections and a super sized coffin.
**Three Sides of a Fence by Atar Haradi - An old man, a young Arab and a Hassidic Jew all reveal their side of one painful, historic story.
**Universally Speaking by Conor Carroll - Watch as one man’s grim reality is played out in three different ways. A dark take on celebrity and crime.
