Little Theatre Guild Conference 2009

Conference programme

From 6.00pm	Registration Light snacks
7.00pm	LTG National Committee Meeting
7.00pm	TERRORISM (studio performance) A dark comedy for the post 9/11 generation Delayed passengers grumble about a bomb scare at the airport. A man and a woman commit adultery. Office workers bicker. Two grannies in a playground complain about their men. Policemen in their barracks scrap amongst themselves. The passengers on the plane finally prepare for take-off. By the end we realise these apparently random scenes are in fact linked by an almost invisible thread, subtly indicating that we bear responsibility for one another, even in our soulless urban limbo.
