SYNOPSIS

Martha Levis is struggling to pay for her drug addiction to the violent drug dealer. Ignores the advice from her best friend, Natasha, Martha decides to use ‘Plenty of Fish’ online dating site in order to find a wealthy man.

Meanwhile, after six years of being a widower, Charlie believes he wouldn’t find love again. Until Harry persuades him to give a few dating sites a try. Soon after meeting, the relationship between Martha and Charlie grows rapidly, but so does the suspicions from Charlie’s eldest daughter, Kelly.

Still grieving for her mother, Kelly feels that her family is against her. She begins to feel that Charlie is replacing her mother as a punishment. However, Charlie’s youngest daughter, Rachel, wants to help her sister to accept and move on with life.

Tension grows intense, as Martha continues to be emotionally disturbed by her past after her traumatic event. Believing it’s the effect of the drugs, she is still tormented by those around her, dead and alive. With her relationship with Charlie, she realizes that she must set things right to move on into the future. She confesses to Charlie and his daughters in the police station. This teaches everyone that the keys to any good relationship are communication, trust and honesty.

Happy Half!

                

Dear Writers,

A very Happy Half Birthday!

Thank you for being a part of such a special adventure, for always being so open to my crazy exercises and sharing your work with me and each other.

I’m really sorry I couldn’t be with you for this special occasion, but I promise we will celebrate in style upon my return.

Have a wonderful meeting with Steve on Monday the 8th at 18h00 at The Bike Shed Theatre.

See you all soon,

Oriana

Who do you think you are?

Dear Writers,

It’s been roughly six months since we started this crazy adventure, and a lot has happened in that time. We have met new writers, made new friends, met with old friends, seen some of you publish your work, written 30 poems in 30 days, written with light, made graffiti with moss, recited poetry with multiple voices, written to the queen, written in the park and drank copious amounts of tea and ale, just to mention a few things… It has indeed been an eventful six months, and it is all down to you!

To mark such a special occasion it seemed fitting to dedicate our next meeting to all of you in the group old and new.

Please join the Resident Writers as we celebrate the colourful characters we see in the group, whilst we attempt to record who we are and who we will be in six months time.

Bring some pen and paper, and perhaps a thinking/party hat which will hopefully inspire you all to have a stab at writing our very own, very short biographies.

Happy Half-Birthday!

Oriana + Steve

Objectified

Greetings from the world around you, Resident Writers.

As the nights draw in and our horizons shudder and shrink in the face of depleting autumnal light, we see our immediate world ever more clearly. Don’t we?

This week’s session is all about the bigger stories told by the smallest of objects, the inspiration that comes from listening to sounds in the room we are in.

Please bring pen and paper (or electronic equivalent) as ever, plus sharp eyes and keen ears. Keen eyes and sharp ears if you like, we’re not that prescriptive.

See you in the Bike Shed on Monday 24th September at 6.00pm.

Steve, Varun and Oriana
