Full Stop by Christopher Patrick Performed by Colin Little, Hazel Ann Crawford, Kirsty Strain & Charlie Graham. When Jake loses his wife he does what all grieving husbands would do. Buys cheap whiskey and hides in his attic from the in-laws. Will his sister and best friend be able to convince him to come down? And will they have to put up with his wife's family for much longer? The only thing worse than death is dealing with the family in the aftermath. Thankfully, attics were built for hiding.

Full Stop by Christopher Patrick

An interrogation inside. A missing female outside. A stranger is being interrogated by the police. There is evidence he did it.

Sam flatters Emma’s fragile self-esteem, but Emma’s returned attention pulls them into a risky relationship that will challenge their ideas of what it means to be an adult. Growing up can put years on you. Performed by Hazel Ann Crawford, Megan Hair & Kirsty Strain

Responsible by Eve Nicole

Patrick ponders the meaning of his life and what might lie ahead after his time in the womb while his brother Stewart takes each day as it comes with no expectations of what the future holds.

Will there be life after birth for the boys? “You’ve always been on that side, and I’ve always been on this side. Let’s change it up, live a little!” Performed By: Colin Little, Charlie Graham & Cameron McGarva

Performed by: Cameron McGarva Produced & Directed by: Christopher Patrick Recorded by: Keiran Lowrie Tech: Ian Swinscoe
