Shakers by Jon Godber
Every town has its "Shakers- the oh so trendy cocktail bar where everyone wants to be seen: from the check out girls, the chinless wonders, from the yuppies to the local lads tittering at the thought of a "long slow comfortable screw". We are given a wickedly funny glimpse of this world by the four long suffering waitresses, offering a fascinating view of the reality that lurks behind the plastic palms and pina coladas

The year is 1913 and war with Germany is imminent.

Desperately trying to get out of an extremely sticky situation, Richard calls for his PPS George Pigden who, through Richard’s lies sinks further and further into trouble with everybody and ends up going through an identity crisis.

Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a comment on women's independence, packaged as a romantic comedy.
