SUMMARY:The Unfriend
DESCRIPTION:Peter and Debbie are a timorous suburban couple who are “dying of manners”. They can’t communicate with their teenage children\, can’t stand their neighbour\, and can’t believe they have agreed to host a brash American\, Elsa\, who was amusing company when they met on a cruise … but that was then. Her arrival prompts Peter to yearn for a real-life equivalent of Facebook’s ‘unfriend’ button. After all\, if the internet rumours are to be believed she may well be a murderer. Still\, that’s no reason to kick her out\, is it? \nThis well-reviewed black comedy of crumbling boundaries and exquisite embarrassment was written by Steven Moffat\, showrunner and head writer of Doctor Who (2010–2017) and co-creator of Sherlock (2010–2017)\, and is directed for H72 Productions by Priya Pinto. There are further performances on 13 and 14 December. \n

SUMMARY:Thousand Nights and One
DESCRIPTION:Written and directed by Rasika Agashe\, this magical look at the fate of Scheherazade\, the narrator of the original ‘One Thousand and One Nights’\, is back for one night only (it was at the Junction in March this year). Rasika Agashe says she has long been fascinated by the Arabian Nights stories; “reading them now\, I realize they are about strong women who navigate their survival through storytelling. That’s the power of storytelling!” \nAt the core of her approach to the Scheherazade story (a Sultan weds anew each day\, only to have the bride slain at dawn to preempt any treachery: Scheherazade bucks the trend by captivating him with her stories\, sparing her life with each new sunrise) is the enigmatic Fakir (Dee Gee)\, who holds the key to Scheherazade’s storytelling; and Amina (Audrey Vaz)\, whose journey of secrets and survival embodies the resilience of women in the face of destiny.

SUMMARY:Eureka Day
DESCRIPTION:Eureka Day Elementary School is an institution that prides itself on ensuring every voice is heard\, and every child is welcome — that is\, until an outbreak of mumps forces people in the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise\, the school’s Executive Committee of well-meaning parents and teachers fall apart as their progressive paradise crumbles and meetings are derailed by parental hysteria … \nThis razor-sharp comedy by American playwright Jonathan Spector has had successful recent runs on Broadway and in the West End.  It’s laugh-out-loud funny\, but there’s a message inside: even the most enlightened communities are just one epidemic away from complete turmoil. \nNot a bad choice for The Junction’s tenth anniversary. It’s directed by Akansha and Gautam Goenka\, founders of The Junction. \nThere are further performances on 22 and 23 November. \n

SUMMARY:Peter Pan Syndrome
DESCRIPTION:Now this sounds a lot of fun: at Neverland Publishing\, deadlines are chaos\, the creatives are barely holding it together\, and Managing Editor James Hook has some terrible news: Upper Management has sent in Sylvia\, a brand-new AI robot\, to “enhance workflow.” Which really means one thing: someone’s getting fired \nAs panic spreads through the team\, Peter Pan rallies the creatives to save their jobs\, their stories\, and the magic of never growing up. Meanwhile\, Hook dreams of a promotion\, Odile pulls the strings\, and Sylvia … well\, she’s still updating. \nA satirical comedy from award-winning writer/director Gaby Milky and produced by H72 Productions. There are further shows at 7.30pm on 8 and 9 November.

SUMMARY:Game. Set. Match. Rematch
DESCRIPTION:The final performance of this play. Set in a luxury tennis club suite\, it follows seven long-time friends reunited for a destination wedding; but a seemingly innocent game of sharing phone messages and calls turns into digital Russian roulette. Secrets\, affairs\, emotional confessions\, and some truly terrible texting etiquette emerge … The result: quickfire dialogue\, some laugh-out-loud moments\, and emotional gut-punches: “if you’ve ever been in a relationship\, had a group chat\, or made a mistake you hoped your partner would never see — this play is for you”.

SUMMARY:Game. Set. Match. Rematch
DESCRIPTION:When this show debuted in September last year\, it sold out – and deservedly so: it was well acted (and most of the same gang are back for this revival)\, well directed (by Satya Baskaran\, who’s also in charge this time)\, and cleverly constructed (writer Sid Abbas moved the location to Dubai and populated the script with recognisable Dubai folk). \nAbbas reworked the 2016 Italian film Perfect Strangers\, itself a critical and commercial success\, with the locale switched to Dubai’s tennis scene. Set in a luxury tennis club suite\, the play follows seven long-time friends reunited for a destination wedding; but a seemingly innocent game of sharing phone messages and calls turns into digital Russian roulette. Secrets\, affairs\, emotional confessions\, and some truly terrible texting etiquette emerge … The result: quickfire dialogue\, some laugh-out-loud moments\, and emotional gut-punches: “if you’ve ever been in a relationship\, had a group chat\, or made a mistake you hoped your partner would never see — this play is for you”. \nThere are further shows at 7.30pm on 17 and 18 October.
