The Journey
Jenny Runacre 10 mins 15 The sense of isolation in the centre of a big
city, in the crowed yet anonymous streets, is almost inescapable, and
can be particularly so when arriving in a large foreign metropolis. The
private lives of people are shaken by the separation from their native
lands and milieus. The difficult journey into another land begins. Art
The End John

after a night out to spend the rest of the evening drinking and watching
TV. While channel surfing they happen upon an emergency news broadcast
informing the nation of a nuclear attack in progress. Drama

through a day in which all his creditors press him for payment. Drama

about inspiration. Harriet has recently moved to Brixton and loves it
so much she writes a poem about it. She then reads it in The Poetry Cafe
in Lower Garden in front of an audience. Comedy
Incident 55
Joe Rosen 10 mins 15 Whilst fishing on the bank of a canal Trev tests
a new super-bait and waxes lyrical on its virtues. Rocky shows little

just the bait. Comedy

research we have determined to be quintessential British male. Comedy
