Here's what's on offer ...
Albert’s Boy by James Graham, directed by Kate Campbell
Einstein’s guilt tangles him up in knots.
It’s boomtime in America, 1953.
At home in New Jersey, Einstein isn’t basking in this Free World glow.
His cat is missing and that is the least of his problems.
Nearly a decade after the Second World War ended in a mushroom cloud over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Albert is questioning his own part in the proliferation of the Atomic Bomb.
Even Stillness Breathes Softly Against a Brick Wall by Brad Birch, directed by Hannah de Ville
Him loves her. Her loves him.
But what happens when Him and Her say no.
No to the meal deals.
No to the Iphones.
No to the friends.
No to this pathetic illusion of happiness - it’s simple really, they just have to…
Wake up.
Wake up.
Yet how do you wake up from life?
The End of Hope by David Ireland, directed by Max Elton
Dermot and Janet are about to have a one night stand.
Before sealing the deal, though, Dermot must:
a) Check she agrees that Tony Blair's a war criminal.
b) Establish whether she killed her ex-husband
c) Reluctantly accept she does not realise he's famous.
Misterman by Enda Walsh, directed by Grace Vaughan
Inishfree is immersed in evil and only Thomas Mcgill can see it.
With God at his side it is up to him to cleanse the town and bring salvation.
But heaven may be further from Inishfree than he thought.
Wasted by Kate Tempest, directed by Jamie Woods.
Three old friends.
One remarkable day.
One epiphany.
Tony’s tree changes four times a year - Ted, Danny and Charlotte need to catch up.
It’s time to seize control. Make a difference. Change things. This is it.
