In 1988, a Tory politician Robin Hesketh returns to his Cotswold home with his left-wing wife. What begins as light teasing soon escalates into a brutal conflict, shattering the calm of their 30-year marriage.

Hansard is an intimate drama about a troubled marriage set against the backdrop of Section 28, which banned the “promotion” of homosexuality. The play takes place in the Cotswolds, where Tory cabinet member Robin Hesketh and his disillusioned, left-wing wife Diana live. After Robin returns from a TV debate, Diana confronts him over his political views, criticising the Tories' stance on homosexuality. What starts as light teasing quickly turns into a brutal conflict, exploring the emotional disconnect between the characters and the clash of political ideologies.

The Snow-Globe presents Bouncers (Remix) - an outrageous and hilarious parody of the disco scene, set site-specifically at John Snow's own Igloo bar!

Bursting with imagination and wit and presented by just four actors, the four brutish bouncers of the title portray over twenty different characters as we are invited for a night out on the town. We see them as giggly girls and lads on the make preparing for the big night out as we follow their progress to the disco floor.

There, we also meet an entire cross-section of disco-goers, including Hooray Henrys, pogoing punks and drunken slobs! The evening’s events are set against the tatty glitzy glamour, flashing lights and pulsating beat of the nightclub scene. An exhilarating night out for all concerned.
