COMING NEXT: MIRACLE

By Gerry Potter. Presented by Art Bandit.

Miracles come in all shapes and sizes and this one is ten inches long...

Miracle tells the story of Will Hung, an ex-rentboy, now porn star who is the miracle cure for all terminal disease, but to cure you he has to have sex with you.

Miracle is set in 1994, just before the onset of combination therapy started saving the lives of many gay men. In these dark days, Will Hung is their only hope.

Written by Gerry Potter, creator of Chloe Poems, Miracle is part urban fairy-tale, part farce and part Greek tragedy. It's a drama that asks questions that have never been asked before. Never have morality and mortality been so controversially entwined.

DIRECTOR: Mike Heath. PERFORMED BY Warren Brown, Jenni Howarth-Williams & Gerry Potter.

OCTOBER: KARRY OWKY

By Michael Stewart. Presented by Vista Theatre Company.

An evening of bawdy comedy, though as the piece progresses and the characters collide in their grotesque and vile manner the comedy gradually bleeds out, leaving a tragic finale. It is a pub opera in the vernacular.

Karry Owky was used as a scene study at The Royal National Theatre Studio in 2001 and was nominated for the King's Cross Award for New Writing in 2004.

DIRECTOR: Christopher Neil. PERFORMED BY Alana Gorman, Cellan Scott, Jonathan Davies, Laurie Rea, Lisa Whiteside, Noel Wilson, Stefan Bird.
