Cube Present - The Locksmith's Wife - By Mark Crees
Her father knew they were mismatched, but she was stubborn. A mere locksmith for a husband! And now look at them, years later, bickering and divided...
How can his shop thrive when her "literary activities" make him a laughing-stock? The audiences for her weekly Dickens readings bring in money! He's just trying to stifle her creative urges!
One day, a mysterious visitor arrives with a challenge for the Locksmith that might at last change his fortunes for the better. But his wife falls ill, and the Locksmith has to make a choice - a choice that will force him to face his deepest secret.
Poignant and heart-warming, The Locksmith's Wife is a bittersweet tale of redemption in a blighted marriage.

Bish Bash Bosh Productions - A Mere Interlude
A new play by Alan M Kent, based on a short story by Thomas Hardy.
How would you feel if your marriage were arranged behind your back?
What would you do if you were blackmailed into fear?
What if your life was a charade kept from others prying eyes?
Set in the restrictive world of Cornwall & Isles of Scilly society of the 1860s, the passionate and progressive young teacher, Baptista Trewethan, suddenly finds herself the victim of a carefully orchestrated marriage to a dialect spouting grotesque Scillonian fisherman.
The interlude she creates leads her first to steamy passion and then to having all hopes lost.
