Renard Press Ltd Oh No It Isn't!
‘So let’s build the tension – everybody put your hands on your legs and give us a drum roll please! Stamp your feet! Here we go!’ It’s the final performance of a Cinderella panto in a moth-eaten, regional theatre, and backstage tensions between the ugly sisters are threatening to boil over on to the stage. Will the egotism, one-upmanship and sexual politics remain confined to the dressing room, or will the bitter rivalry and jealousy between the two actors steal the show? Oh No It Isn’t! is a brilliantly observed, raucous yet moving new play exploring the highs and lows of life in the theatre.

Renard Press Ltd One Last Waltz
Alice is becoming more and more forgetful. Her daughter Mandy is always on hand to help out, but is starting to feel the strain. One day a long-forgotten photograph stirs a memory and lures Alice back to the Crown Hotel in Blackpool, where she hopes for the chance to dance in the tower ballroom one last time. But when mother and daughter reach Blackpool, nothing is quite how Alice remembers, and she finds herself getting lost in the past. One Last Waltz is a beautifully written portrayal of a family coming to terms with complications caused by Alzheimer's disease. By turns sparkling with wit and heart-wrenching in its honesty, it's filled with vital and compassionate insight into the sufferings accompanying a disease that has blighted the landscape for so many.
