This June we will be staging a double-bill of two one-act plays by Harold Pinter:
Moonlight is a moving play about dying, disconnection, loss, and the yearning for communion; what we were and what we become. It is also a play about fathers and sons, and about deadlocked wedlock. It is full of recurring themes and of sudden mood changes. There is word play in the title: the thing about moonlight is that it’s the last light you see before total darkness; it’s a very brief, black intense light that fades all too soon.
In A Slight Ache, Edward and Flora are occupied with their usual concerns: enjoying the garden at their country house and a good breakfast. But they are also bothered by the man selling matches outside in the street. Who is he and where does he come from? Should they ask him to step inside to explain himself?
Showtimes: 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13 June 2009 at 19:00, a guest performance at Q-Teatteri's Puoli-Q, Tunturikatu 16, Helsinki. Tickets €10.

The Finn-Brit Players’ Drama Incubator is hatching its first three chicks this spring:
Dirty Work at the Crossroads by Bill Johnson, abridged & adapted by Joan Nordlund
A tale of passion, murder, deceit and intrigue involving the usual suspects: the gullible widow, the innocent daughter, the faithful admirer, the hired help, the dastardly villain, ‘she who will have her revenge’, and the Asterbilts of Fremington Manor. But where does Little Nell fit in?
Guardian Demon by Zoë Chandler
The eternal battle between Good and Evil has not disrupted Adam's sheltered existence - until now, when it's brought to disturbing life by the angelic and demonic voices whispering into his brain. But visits to his beautiful yet troubled therapist Eve bring nothing but complications.
Men Defenders! by Oana Velcu
When every day overwhelms the lonely Alexios with yet more evidence that women are seizing power, mathematical equations no longer suffice. This dedicated researcher needs help to stop the atrocity! But how will his friends react to his plans?
