"I lay on my back in the dark and thought about you, Uncle Peck..."

1969, Maryland, USA. Lil' Bit is a precocious 17 year old frustrated with small-town life, her juvenile friends and her overbearing family. The only person who really appreciates her is her Uncle Peck. Told through a series of driving lessons throughout her adolescence, How I Learned to Drive explores the troubled relationship between a young girl and an older man with chaotic theatricality, hilarity and heartbreak. This shattering and provocative love story delves into the darker realms of sexuality and family life.

Theatre Bench present the world premiere of
THESE TREES ARE MADE OF BLOOD
by Darren Clark, Amy Draper and Paul Jenkins. Directed by Amy Draper.
Run: Wednesday 18 March - Saturday 11 April 2015
Press night: Friday 20 March 2015 at 8pm

And for our next act ...
The Magical Military Junta ...

Will make 30,000 people disappear before your very eyes.

During the 70s and 80s, Argentina was locked in a period of state terrorism, with a military dictatorship waging war on suspected left-wing political sympathizers. Thousands of citizens were "disappeared"; seized by the authorities and never heard from again.

Set in a timeless Buenos Aires cabaret club before, during and after Argentina's Dirty War, These Trees are Made of Blood tells the story of one Mother's search for her daughter. Blending original live music and exciting cabaret acts with an urgent narrative, this is a new piece of political theatre which promises to be an unforgettable audience experience.

So come on in. The club's open all hours and history can always be rewritten after one too many.

Theatre Renegade present the world premiere of
SCARLET
by Sam. H Freeman. Directed by Joe Hufton. Original music by Benji Huntrods and Ed Burgon.
Run: Wednesday 15 April - Saturday 9 May 2015
Press night: Friday 17 April 2015 at 8pm

"Let's face it babes, you did kind of bring it on yourself"

This morning Scarlet went viral. In a video she doesn't remember making. With 10 men she doesn't remember meeting. And now no one's looking at anyone but her.

Four women tell the bleak yet comic tale of Scarlet; a young woman has her sexual history exposed, shamed and scrutinized on social media while she can only sit and watch.
