Benefit of Time and Seconds Out

North West based Organised Chaos Productions present a double bill of new writing.

"Seconds Out" is written by Helen East: Al has had his time in the limelight as a boxer and is now training the boxers of the future; he can't wait for his young protégé, Danny, to battle it out at the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Danny is enjoying the fame and adulation but has decided he doesn't want to go. Can anyone "win" in this battle of wills? Set in real time in an inner-city gym, the play asks the question how far would you go for someone you love?

"The Benefit of Time" is written by Terri-Ann Brumby: Debbie Green is dull. Debbie Green is plain. Debbie Green works in Human Resources. Donald Cruickshank her hypnotist is desperate for celebrity. Can Debbie's colourful "previous life" reshape her mundane existence? "You are currently in a dormant life. Which means you are a very old soul that has had many traumatic or extraordinary existences. That's why you're boring." A triumph over adversity story, with past life regression, royalty, personnel procedure, cunning, crime, birth, death and filth! Don't be a loser be a Tudor.

“My husband and I came to see the performance of Ugly Sister on Friday. How nice to see a venue where fringe theatre is flourishing in Manchester. 

It was lovely to see Catia's interpretation of Ugly Sister and it was a most enjoyable performance and a most enjoyable evening. Please can we have some more?”

Joanne Harris(writer of the short story Ugly Sister)
