Casual Encounters by Andy Moseley – directed by Carl Fletcher

‘Casual Encounters’ is a comedy about a middle-aged couple and their ill-fated attempt to spice up their ailing marriage by having an evening of casual sex with new partners.

James and Jennifer have been seeing a marriage counsellor, when she tells them they should try something new, James decides this can only mean one thing – wife-swapping. Not that he’d want the neighbours to know, and to keep his new hobby a secret he’s been trawling the internet to find a suitable couple for their first casual encounter.

What he and Jennifer haven’t realised is that not everyone tells the truth online. When Peter and Annette arrive, they find this out as it becomes clear that wife swapping is simply a front to get into the house. Their actual intentions are something altogether different and darker, and they know that James and Jennifer’s embarrassment at what the neighbours might think means they are powerless to stop them.

With James and Jennifer cornered in a perfect trap, one thing is certain, their marriage will never be the same again…

James – Terry Scotchmer
Jennifer – Kat Wootton
Peter – Graeme Thompson
Annette – Kim Morrison
DC Cook – Nick Edwards

Manger A Trois (The Dinner Party) by Doc Watson – directed by Caitlin Homes

This dark comedy opens as a prominent couple in the food and restaurant world, Him and Her, await the arrival of her ex-partner (He) to dinner. It will be the first time that Her and He have seen each other since their separation ten years ago.

It is also the night before the opening of He’s latest restaurant.

While Her and He are initially curious to see what has become of each other underneath the public success of their careers, Him is unhappy to have to put up with their reunion and acts to sabotage the gathering.

Their tangle of professional and personal rivalries are played out through the evening, with each course being accompanied by cutting conversation and biting revelations.

As they tussle for the continuously changing balance of power, they find out more than they bargained for: regret, jealousy and revenge are only some of the dishes served up on a platter.

HIM – Cameron K McEwan
HER – Gemma-May Bowles
HE – William Baltyn
