Orphans
by Lyle Kessler

Directed By Gerri Farrell

Two brothers live in a house in North Philly. Although adults, there is something child-like about these orphans. The eldest supports himself and his slightly retarded brother by petty thievery. One night he brings home a rich older man to get him drunk and rob him. It turns out that the man – Harold is very rich and on the lam from a hitman. Harold establishes the house as a base of operations and, in a strange, hilarious and moving way, becomes the father figure the boys have always yearned for.

Off-Broadway audiences gave this moving drama standing ovations.

An Amateur production by arrangement with Samuel French Ltd.

No Picnic by Greg Freeman

An allegorical comedy that explores the crisis of conscience of teddy bears. Invited to a picnic in the woods, Alfie, Ludovic and Julius witness a disturbing incident that seriously alters their existence. In an unreal world that meets reality, three cuddly bears who cannot lie and a weird doll that can, embark on a precarious journey to save their skins.

‘Gleefully bizarre....masterfully realised black comedy....
unquestionably a feast.......Batshit mental king of the dark fringe
Freeman returns with a richly allegorical play about a teddy bears’
picnic gone very wrong’
