ARSEHAMMERS
“Having Arsehammers is magic. Sometimes you don’t have them and then, all of a sudden, bang, you have them again”.
An endearing tale of a child who is sure that their grandfather’s strange disappearances reveal supernatural powers.
BONFIRE NIGHT
“If you hear a loud bang on bonfire night do you think it’s a firework….or a gun going off?”
A darkly comic gem about a devoted daughter, whose mother’s hip operation, sets off a chain of events that lead her to become the world’s most unlikely assassin.

Both plays have characters who are perfectly ordinary and yet completely extraordinary and there is a wicked sense of humour underlying everything.
