S01E04 - ADMISSIONS (2019) at Trafalgar Studios - London
Alex Kingston (ER, Doctor Who) and Sarah Hadland (Miranda) star in this award-winning and bitingly funny new comedy from the writer of acclaimed hit Bad Jews, direct from New York’s Lincoln Center, producers of Oslo.
Sherri is the Head of Admissions at a private school, fighting to diversify the student intake and she wants you to know about it.
When her son is deferred from his university of choice, and his best friend – who ‘ticks more boxes’ – is accepted, Sherri’s personal ambition collides with her progressive values.

S01E03 - Nora: A Doll's House (2019) by Citizens Theatre - Glasgow
"‘You’ve lies in the whites of your eyes, Nora. What have you done…?’
Nora is the perfect wife and mother. She is dutiful, beautiful and everything is always in its right place. But when a secret from her past comes back to haunt her, her life rapidly unravels. Over the course of three days, Nora must fight to protect herself and her family or risk losing everything.
Ibsen’s brutal portrayal of womanhood caused outrage when it was first performed in 1879. This bold new production by one of Scotland’s most exciting playwrights reframes the drama in three different time periods. The fight for women’s suffrage, the swinging sixties and modern day intertwine in this urgent, poetic play that asks how far have we really come in the past 100 years? "
This show transferred to the Young Vic in February 2020.

S01E02 - Interference (2019) by National Theatre of Scotland - Glasgow
CAN YOU EVER REALLY TRUST A MACHINE?
A few decades from now, a couple are struggling to conceive, but fortunately their company has the perfect solution.
A woman waits in a VR metaverse to do homework with her young daughter.
In a care home staffed by advanced AIs, a woman struggles to make a connection with her android carer.
Three plays at every performance
Interference is a trilogy of near future plays. Staged in an empty office block transformed with vivid projection and atmospheric soundscapes. It asks the question: will technology interfere with what we really need from each other?
Written by Morna Pearson, Hannah Khalil and Vlad Butucea. Directed by Cora Bissett
