Three one-act plays by Michael Yates.

LIFE SENTENCE: Hell hath no fury like a woman
scorned - especially when she has a meat cleaver in her
hand! A dark comedy about the violent games lovers
play. Winner of the Stanley Arnold Trophy at Sheffield
One-Act Play Festival.

TILL MY EYES BLEED: Loyal Mel hires the theatre
to host a wake for his best friend Adrian. But it
becomes apparent - to everyone except Mel - that
Mel's wife had enjoyed a passionate affair with Adrian.
Will Mel guess the truth before the end of the night?

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AGAIN: Eight-year-old
Lenny has two big worries: His mum and dad are
always fighting, and there's a wicked witch living next
door! A poignant play about growing up, chosen for
Liverpool's Write Now One-Act Play Festival, and
described by critic Laurence Raw as "sharply
observed... vividly demonstrates how the past exerts a
powerful influence over the present."
