Following sellout performances at Tristan Bates and the Tara Studion, One Mind Theatre Company present 'Eight' by Ella Hickson - Directed by Nick Ewans and Renu Arora.

A prostitute clinging to traditional values; a high flyer with his world blown apart; a trendy gallery owner with a suicidal lover; a single mum seeing a glimpse of middle class security; a teenager escaping to a world of secrets; a cheating and cheated lover; a traumatized soldier with unusual ‘friends’:  in monologues they reveal inner worlds.

Rising film star, Mitchell Green, is every girl's fantasy and soon to become a household name, thanks to his devilish agent Diane, who excels at navigating the choppy waters of Hollywood.

With Mitchell on the brink of superstardom, Diane encounters one teensy weensy obstacle - she can’t seem to stop her leading man from coming out of the closet. With Mitchell spending days and nights with his new 'friend' Alex, and Alex’s beautiful girlfriend Ellen (yes girlfriend!) causing a drama of her own, what lengths will Mitchell go to play the part? And will there be a Hollywood ending when the credits role?

Douglas Carter Beane's Tony award-nominated comedy, hilariously satirizes the superficial world of show-business and the game-playing of the movie industry.

Starring Tamsin Greig, Rupert Friend, Gemma Arterton and Harry Lloyd.

Demarche of Enthusiasts is a combined story of the modern Russian classics. Popular actor Alexander Filippenko brings to life excerpts from Sergei Dovlatov, Vladimir Vyssotsky, Vasily Aksenov and Bulat Okudzhava, marshalling them under a single epigraph: “All of us hail from the 1960s. To be perfectly honest, we lived better then than now. Although the life itself is better now than it was then…” This comparison – however tragic, illogical and sad it may sound – is also irrepressibly funny, giving Filippenko ample opportunity to make his audience laugh and cry, almost at the same time.
