In 'Café Perdu' by Melissa Collin, eight people allow us a glimpse into their ordinary lives, during one ordinary day in an ordinary café. But everyone has their secrets, and maybe sometimes life just isn't what it seems. (Cast: 1 male\/1 female, with the actors playing all roles, but could also be performed with an ensemble cast of 4 male\/4 female) In 'Lost and Found' by Ashley Burgoyne, Lucy is the only volunteer at a recently opened helpline in Norfolk. Why? Philip joins Lucy, but soon discovers a lack of calls from the needy of Norfolk. Why? This dark comedy will leave you wondering whether you'd rather be lost, or found! (Cast: 1 male\/1 female) This edition also includes two bonus plays, 'Isolation Stories', short one-scene plays set in strange times. These plays were written in response to a BBC commission for short plays focussing on the characters' responses to the coronavirus lockdown, and intended to be staged as video calls. In 'Ed and Eddie' by Melissa Collin, a mother and daughter find that unusual circumstances unearth a long-hidden family secret. (Cast: 2 female) In 'FIZZical' by Ashley Burgoyne, George's children worry about how he will cope with isolation, but he has a lifetime of memories to rely on.
