2018
Stitchers
By Esther Freud, Stitchers was first performed – a shortened version – at INK 2017, it was transferred to London in 2018 and ran at The Jermyn Street Theatre for three weeks with Sinead Cusack receiving outstanding reviews.
“.. novelist Esther Freud (Hideous Kinky) has chosen an unusual theme for her first play: the true story of Lady Anne Tree’s determination to give prisoners a practical purpose and increased self-esteem by introducing them to needlecraft.” Michael Billington“Stitchers poses strong arguments for Fine Cell Work’s projects, Lady Anne Tree as a national heroine, and Freud’s skills as a playwright.” The Stage
Written by Tim Connor (music and lyrics) and Lia Buddle (story and dramaturgy), the British score includes cabaret favourite Back To School, winner of the Stiles and Drewe Best New Song Prize.
2017
Another Northern Man
Written by Paul Kelly, directed by Susan Raasay, and premiered at the INK Festival 2017, Another Northern Man transferred to the Hope Theatre in London.
Andrew Murton, Creative Director and Actor at Hambre Productions says ‘we’re involved because the reaction at the INK Festival was so raw, potent and visceral that a wider audience need to experience this play. The Hope Theatre is the perfect place to make that happen.’
2016
Daughter
Written by Bill Cashmore, music by Denis King, directed by Julia Sowerbutts and premiered at the INK Festival 2016, Daughter was developed and transferred to the Pleasance Theatre in London.
“Condensed into just 55 minutes, Daughter packs quite a punch. This is a play about family and the importance of appreciating every second we have with the people we love – but it also reflects on the nature of memory and those “flashbulb moments” that stay with us forever, for better or worse. A powerful piece of theatre, both enjoyable and haunting, Daughter is well worth a visit.”

2015
Beached
Written and performed by James McDermott, directed by Julia Sowerbutts, Rubber Ring started as a short play originally called Beached and was first performed at the inaugural INK in 2015 which also went on to win Velvet Trumpet’s best new comedy award at the Southwark Playhouse in London. It subsequently was developed into a full length play touring the country including performances in the West End. Rubber Ring is currently being adapted for a TV with Hat Trick.
