CAKE ON A PLATE (15mins). Directed by Stephen Carnell. Cast: Alicia Gonzalez.
What happens when a teacher opens up to her class of girls about her feelings on literature and love? Shakespeare sonnets, Dylan Thomas poetry or Shauna’s achievement at the memorial to fallen nurses – there are many ways to reach your personal best in life. The important thing is to take the risk.

THE DYKE VARIATIONS (20mins). Directed by Amelia Tranter. Cast: Laura Viskovich, Alicia Gonzalez.
What’s the impact of a baby on a relationship? Two women get philosophical and emotional about the recent big change in their lives. Who teaches us how to behave? Who is our tribe? And why are ducks so important?

INTERVAL (20mins). Drinks available from the bar.

THE PUNTER’S SIREN (40ins): Directed by Stephen Carnell. Cast; Jacqui Livingston, Laura Viskovich.
There’s nothing as nice as meeting a charming stranger on your very first day at the races. You want to make a bet? All bets are off in this story of seduction and manipulation at the racetrack. Lust, trust and a filthy big pile of cash send first-time punter Helen racing off on the ride of her life.
