Mission Impossible

A meeting room, a flip chart, an enthusiastic facilitator, and four employees who are determined to give her a hard time.

This is the background to Mission Impossible, a hilarious look at the corporate nonsense that anyone who has ever attended a team bonding session will know only too well. Ice Breakers and silly games do little to bond this team as the beleaguered facilitator gets tough to ensure that she gets the outcome she desires.

I Gave You My Heart

I Gave You My Heart is a teenage romantic comedy for two girls. Kate has broken up with her boyfriend telling her younger sister, Jenny, that he is just 'too weird - a freak'. What worries her is message that has appeared on her facebook wall, apparently from him, that states 'I gave you my heart' and how that might relate to a parcel that she has just received from him in the post! This short play is an exploration of squabbling siblings with equal measures of suspense and comedy and a satisfying twist at the end.
