HolidaySouthwark Playhouse Secrets on Sat 18th April, 9pm
Laura is sitting in a deck chair in a sombrero with lights under the brim. She is having a conversation with a tape player. Her body has tried to go on a ten-minute holiday from her mind, and who can blame her?
Review
Awesome! A candid and brutally honest portrayal - thought the body taking a holiday was (as somebody who has body issues) great - like to imagine that's what my body would do on a break - although it would probably involve excessive drink and drugs! Fantastic, I enjoyed it more than the show I actually paid to come and watch. The carnage at the end with the volleyball was particularly enjoyable.

Wasp Killer
Scratch: Friday 28th November at arch468 Fifteen minutes, twenty-four thoughts about pacifism, masochism, and how the sexes deal with aggression.
1. There is a wasp's nest in the eaves of my house.
2. I drink 4 cans of diet coke a day.
3. My dad laid a karma trip on me about killing the wasps.
4. Someone from work told me that the sweetener in diet coke was originally developed as ant killer, and can be used to poison the wasps ...
"It takes a slow journey upwards as if you're about to take off ... the swirling delivery is like a dream"
"A really inspiring and enjoyable performance - huge talent and a unique voice"
"Desperate - like a tramp in the street who wants to tell you about their life using the beauty of cardboard and the preciousness of drawings"
