A Horse With No Name - Iraq, the spring of 2003. The Battle of Baghdad rages. One retired Iraqi soldier - Ali - and one active American soldier - Rick - are trapped by rubble in a secret basement bar. Rick and Ali somehow make it through the two acts without killing each other but getting to know each other instead, finally ending up on the roof where they play a real-time game of Classic pool - not a staged game - which, depending on who wins the game - offers alternate endings to the play. . . . One Of The Lads - As NATO forces enter Iraq the media feeds a constant river of images of war into the daily lives of millions in Britain through TV. One such home is that of a young waster who has just died injecting heroin with two other lowlifes and one ambitious young woman determined to alter her destiny whatever the cost. Violence overseas or violence at home - what's the difference? . . . The Next Life - Blended as a hybrid theatre play/film from the book 'All this is mine' by Tony Stowers, this is the story of a young northern dealer drifting through London's post-Thatcherist underbelly in the early 90's. Rob Barlow is the key antagonist whose imagination and paranoia conflict in a seedy London of hustlers and thieves, pimps and backstabbers, corrupt journalists and nouveaux riche wasters, as he drifts inexorably to a disaster that offers a slim strand of redemption. . . . X - Saturday night beneath the plastic palm tree and two pairs of dissatisfied male friends who've never met before (one gay couple, the other straight) hit town. By Sunday, one will have been re-born, one will have won insight, one will have lost everything and one will still be bad at playing Dominoes. Originally entitled 'A Town Called X' and in part inspired by the title of the American film 'American History X' and the murder of Matthew Shepherd by homophobes in the late 90's in mid-west America, 'X' is performed over 60 minutes, promenade style in untypical spaces and with the music of David Bowie. 'X' is a challenging but important piece of work . It was translated into Czech and performed at Prague Pride in August 2015 and then toured in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany.

Notă biografică

On 'X': "Six years in the making, X is a powerful piece of promenade theatre that playwright Tony Stowers describes as his "labour of love"; it's a passion that's evident throughout the play. A modern-day tale of love, loss, sex and identity, the cast consist of just two actors: the equally impressive Terry Betts and David Hannah, who portray four well-crafted characters you genuinely care about. The opening scene - in which straight friends Dave and Mark discuss their dubious sex lives and opinions on homosexuality, while intermittently shouting lewd comments to passing women - could have been a cliché-ridden disaster. Instead, the dialogue is painfully accurate, as it remains throughout. Despite very little verbal interaction, the crucial scene, in which Dave allows himself to be seduced by the charismatic Stewart during a game of chess, is passionate and makes for slightly uncomfortable viewing, while the close of the play, which sees live-in lovers John and Stewart part ways, is genuinely moving. Staging X at The End (one of Newcastle's best-known gay bars) will undoubtedly bring theatre to audiences who may not otherwise access it. Unfortunately, however, it's also unlikely to attract the audience it so widely deserves.-Amy Rudd, The Tyne & Wear Metro Magazine, March 2006.
