New Stuff

The Cockpit presents two pieces of new writing from Claudia Saavedra & Eric Silver and Steven Lancefield.
Our monthly night of rehearsed readings at The Cockpit - now online.



Rushes by Steven Lancefield
@StevenLancefiel

They were hoping for Cannes. It will end up in court...

'Rushes' is a claustrophobic drama set in a cramped bedsit. Ambitious documentary film maker Will is working on his new project about a vulnerable woman, Carly. But when tragedy strikes, does the blame fall with Will, or has Carly been pulling the strings all along..?



Threesome by Claudia Saavedra & Eric Silver

Alex and Eve are just like any dysfunctional millenial trying to survive in today's world.

Eve is tired of the misogyny she has to endure in everyday life and Alex... Well, Alex just wants to watch TV.

In order to afford the rent, they need to interview a potential flatmate. After a string of unsuccessful applicants, mostly due to Alex’s strong opinions and inability to keep any of his opinions to himself, they meet Evan. The challenge presents itself: Alex has to keep his opinions to himself and Eve needs to try and control her libido. What starts off as a very awkward encounter, quickly develops into a series of unexpected stories and interactions that might just be what each of these three distinct individuals need.

Told from the point of view of a real stuttering person, Threesome is the rare play that manages to blend humour, trauma and overall far-fetched themes and opinions that wouldn’t usually work (but do).
