The Point of No Return
Produced by Get Over It Productions as part of their scratch night The Scene.
In a dystopian future Emmel is being thrown out of the glorious New World, a totalitarian state, that claims to put women first. He has been forcibly separated from his friend, Natty, and their newborn baby, and now only has a strange woman called Katty to see him off. |
The ElectionNatty is living in a totalitarian state in a dystopian future. A society created as a gone-too-far-attempt of destroying the patriarchy, this world seemingly puts women first and sees men as a mere commodity. But Natty has come to learn that nothing in this 'New World' is truly as it seems, hence she runs for elections in her quest to fight for true equality. Annoyingly she also has to deal with her forced husband Flappel and 'New World' enthusiastic competitor Cara. The dark comedy is a continuation of my short play The Appointment, taking place a year later, but works as a stand-alone piece.

A 10-minute-short-play originally commissioned by Little Pieces of Gold for The Class Ceiling
Candy is the top prostitute at her brothel, closest to her pimp. She considers herself a true feminist and is proud of her career choice. One day she meets Pope Joan and Marlene, two characters from Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls frozen in time. Both consider themselves high-flying business women in their own times. So does Candy living in the 21st Century. The three women discuss class and their social statuses and whether one should just fit into their designated role in society and be content or try to break out of it and fight for more. A contemporary response to Caryl Churchill’s 1980s play Top Girls, Bottom Girl is a darkly-comic and surreal exploration of social class in the 21st Century and questions whether there have been any improvements throughout the years or if it has rather gotten worse in recent times. |
★★★★★ "The first half of the evening concluded with Bottom Girl by Tessa Hart and directed by Craig Sanders – a response to Caryl Churchill's Top Girls. Using rhyme and repetition, the three characters compare themselves to the reality of women in the 21st century... During the interval, some of the people near me openly stated that Bottom Girl was their favourite play of the evening up to that point." - 5 stars, FemaleArts on Little Pieces of Gold: The Class Ceiling
