After a long and successful marriage, Pam and Don are still very much in love. But Pam is ill and has to make a heartbreaking decision that will transform both their lives. She does so in the only way she knows how – quickly, pragmatically, and resolutely. Don behaves in the only way he knows how – struggling to keep up but desperate not to lose touch.
And No More Shall We Part follows Pam and Don’s halting, humorous and devastating attempt at the impossible – to begin to say goodbye to each other after a lifetime together.

Out the Window by Richard W. Harris.
A avant-garde comedy about the relationships between a man, his wife and his mother.
Failed Investments by Lynn Brittney.
Carol and Anne hold a residents' meeting for their block of flats, but the subject of ground rent gets lost in the welter of human issues that get aired on this particular evening. This adult play provides moments of piquant social comedy as well as moving drama.
Do You Believe in Magick? by Jo Rake.
Elsbeth really wants Robbie to ask her for a date but how do you do it when you are a witch and not as young as you once were? Love potions? Magic charms? Sisters Maryann and Sarita are no help at all. Or are they? Maybe all it takes to get a date is a carefully dropped hint.
The Luvvies by Lynn Brittney.
The guild of local amateur dramatic societies has organised a quiz night about "the movies", which annoys Eileen. Debbie arrives with allergies; Roger's menopausal wife has taken to her bed, so the team is one short; Mike is in a bad mood; and the Dalbridge Strollers' team is being rowdy. To top it off, Shirley has put a swear box on each table to raise money for the church. This humorous play contains moderate swearing.

Kindly Leave the Stage
Synopsis
Kindly Leave the Stage is John Chapman’s double-decker of a farce being a play within a play exposing a public performance where private lives are unravelling! We see a leading man loosing the plot when he finds out his wife has been having a backstage romance with another actor in the cast. Exit, right left and centre! Any chance that the play must go on, but instead the audience are treated to theatrical mayhem.
Onstage the classic British comedy is in full swing, the marriage of ‘Rupert’ and ‘Sarah’ is on the rocks! Their lawyer friends, ‘Charles’ and ‘Madge’ agree to handle the divorce. However, after the play has been running a few minutes, cues are missed, lines are forgotten and ‘Rupert’ has a brainstorm and threatens to kill ‘Charles’ in full view of the audience! A lighthearted tilt at the complete theatricality of a cast of thespians!
