  J.M. Synge, at the suggestion of one of the founders of the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, visited the Arran Islands to live and learn the speech of the native Irish. There, the speech and customs were such that a man who had the courage to murder his "old da", if he deserved it, could become a hero. From that idea comes this story that poetically immortalizes the Irish people, starring James Lancaster, Bairbre Dowling, and Sean McClory, all past members of the Abbey Theatre.Starring: James Lancaster as Christy Mahon, Bairbre Dowling as Pegeen Mike, Jeanette Nolan as The Widow Quinn, William Windom as Old Mahon, Sean McClory as Michael James Flaherty, Shay Duffin as Shawn Keogh, Marty Maguire as Jimmy Farrell, Linda Henning as Sara Tansey, Elizabeth Dennehy as Susan Brady, Elliott Reir as Philly Cullen, Fiona Dwyer as Nellie, Bernadette O'Neil as Honor, Bob Legionaire as The Town Crier, and CART's Announcer John Harlan.Directed and produced by Peggy Webber.

  A poetic, explosive thriller about teenagers on a night out that ends in violence.
  Winner of Metamorphosis 2008.
  In Bromley every Friday night, same time and place, Potts, Baron and Finch get ready for their weekly dose of booze, birds and burgers. But their night out takes a dramatic and terrifying twist when an explosion rocks the town centre, and a suspicious population points the finger at them.
  'Overspill is set in Bromley, but it could be set in any town anywhere in the UK. There are hundreds of Bromleys in Britain' These are the towns that millions of us grow up in.' - Ali Taylor
  'Ali Taylor's slice of urban life is small but thrilling. It is driven by a pulsating rhythm, a sense of place, a menacing undercurrent of casual violence waiting to erupt, and a layered story that suggests the lads' friendship was about to be blown apart by other factors as adolescence gives way to adulthood. The writing is gritty and sweaty, with a tom cat swagger and cut with half-rhymes and littered with assonance and alliteration... a tiny gem'- Guardian
  'A dazzling display of dramatic virtuosity... darkly polished, thrillingly inventive... gleams with gutter poetry'- Time Out
