Time for another play, and it’s Thomford Theatre’s Contractions at PQA Venues @Riddle’s Court at 20:30 on Saturday 17th. Here’s the description on the website: “’Come in. Sit down. How are you?’ Emma’s been seeing Darren. She thinks she’s in love. Her boss thinks she’s in breach of contract. The situation needs to be resolved. An ink-black comedy about work and play.”

Bit of a punt in the dark, this one, although the play is written by Mike Bartlett and he knows a thing or two about drama. Check back after 9.30 pm to see if it was any good, and by then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

Savage and brilliant. This little play gradually shows the prurient and invasive destruction of an employee’s life, and it’s absolutely gripping. Two first-rate performances; we absolutely loved it and thoroughly recommend it.
