‘A wry dissection of the 1980’s and 1990’s- free parties, shell suits and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – got laughs without straying into cheap nostalgia,’

Eyes Down Pens Ready

An observational comedy based in a pub in a northern Lincolnshire town. It’s the night of the weekly pub quiz and tonight the stakes are high with a possible £500 cash prize. Four friends slog it out against locals, as the quiz, headed up by Karaoke Dave, puts these friendships to the test as old rivalries and loves lost rise to the surface.

Written and directed by Anna Jefferson.

A man in a leather jacket is holding a microphone and reading from a paper, sitting at a table with a partially filled glass of beer, with four women in the background sitting at a table, engaged and talking, in a dimly lit, brick-walled venue.

‘A warm, hilarious and touching tale, ‘My Second Life’ proved to be a big hit: there was not an empty seat in sight…one thing is for sure, ‘My Second Life’ is certain to please all audiences.’

Three Weeks ★★★★

‘The strength of the writers is in their ability to observe and replicate the humour of everyday conversations.’

My Second Life

Imagine a world where you could get everything you possibly wanted. You could be slim, beautiful, successful, rich with an amazing house and gorgeous partner.

You could spend your days wandering along sandy shores and eating in the finest restaurants. Now imagine that you turn off the computer to a grey life, suburban semi and ever-decreasing bank balance. A comedy about how far people will go to escape real life through a virtual world on the internet.

Directed by Anna Jefferson and Co-written with Alice Trueman.

Three people celebrating a birthday on a stage with a dark background. One seated person wearing a white soccer jersey with a party hat, holding a book. One standing person with a party hat and a shirt with a crest, has an excited expression with arms open. The third person, woman with a prop cigar and party hat, stands behind the seated person, smiling.

Three Generations of Women is a pure delight, a well performed and expertly devised masterpiece, which will move even the most hardened.
