An older married couple are cleaning out their attic in the early 1990s, reminiscing about their younger selves through the objects they find lying in boxes. They’re moving because he’s out of a job and their invested nest egg has been embezzled by their trusted financiers. He was a comedy writer, then producer; she is the organiser and the woman who has looked after the money he has earned.

For anyone who struggled with the terrifying choices needed in Sophie’s Choice, this play, Terror, ranks with the impossibility of there being one right answer to a moral dilemma. Imagine the following scenario.

Written in the 1950s, premiered as the 1960s just got started, Pinter’s The Caretaker is a brilliant example of New Theatre writing. His first big hit, the play is a wild portrait of three men who are all, in different ways, damaged misfits. 

Old Mill Theatre’s Radium Girls is a historical drama with an amazing storyline that packs a punch. It is presented with a strong ensemble cast at Old Mill Theatre.

The moving, true story of watch dial painter Grace Fryer and her colleagues from the U.S. Radium Plant, who fought for compensation after being poisoned by radium at work, is very well acted - including an impressive performance from Abbey Mc Caughan In the central role - convincingly playing a woman suffering a physical demise, but still determined to fight for her rights.
