Orange Tree Theatre today announces
Inside/Outside; a collection of world première short plays by six emerging and established writers, performed and live-streamed from the Orange Tree Theatre’s auditorium. The first three plays, written by Deborah Bruce, Joel Tan and Joe White, focus on the theme of Inside, and will be streamed live 25 – 27 March 2021. The final three plays by Sonali Bhattacharyya, Zoe Cooper and Kalungi Ssebandeke explore the theme of Outside, streamed live 15 – 17 April 2021.
The collection, directed by Anna Himali Howard and Georgia Green, cover stories of estrangement and loneliness; of connection and redemption; of despair in confinement to hope found in life outdoors.
Christopher Eccleston and Christine Entwisle star as neighbours in a compassionate and uplifting drama
CHRISTINE Entwisle’s illuminating drama Murmuration is about a man learning to live with the voices in his head.
Barnaby (Christopher Eccleston) wants the same things as everyone else. He lives an ordinary life and enjoys feeding the birds from his flat’s balcony. But Barnaby’s voices are often overwhelming.
When his downstairs neighbour Nellie (Entwisle), a local park keeper, knocks on the door they bond over the birds that visit their block of flats.
She’s discovered the remnants of the meat-flavoured Hula Hoops Barnaby has been using to feed the vegetarian wood pigeons and arrives bearing sunflower seeds.
