Shovel by Daze Hingorani
A bath, a cigarette, a packet of crisps – all shared between two siblings on the last day of earth.
Exploring growing up and growing around each other through playfighting and dancing, poetry and everything you always wanted to shout.
So, if the world was about to end, would you finally tell me how you’ve been doing?
Dirty Utopia by Ezra England
However, as the human workforce at Soul Star inexplicably begin to lose their minds, the company is forced to enlist the help of AI robots. When B-DELTA2649, (or Renee, as you’ll come to know her), decides to test the programme on herself and discovers she does have a recordable soul, the company is launched into a raging PR disaster.
As the public begins to doubt not only the credibility of the programme but the ethics of their current society, Dirty Utopia swirls into an examination of morality, truth and justice; what does it mean to be human? But more importantly; what does it mean to have humanity?
You by Wisdom Charis
“You” is fed up. Fed up with the side eyes she gets from white women who clutch their children closer when they see her in a North Face in Big Tesco (like she’d want to steal a caucasian child, aka the Lice Spreader 3000™) , fed up with her no-show date who, when asked his favourite position (wink, wink) unironically replied CEO, and fed up with just life in general. As we get a no holds barred look into her thoughts over the course of one night, we see that the carefully crafted “here for a good time not a long time” persona might actually just be a cover up for something else entirely.
Cages by Zakariye Abdillahi
Meet Uzzy and Jazz. Two seemingly normal Year 9 boys who spend most their time arguing about misplaced one-pound coins and playing two touch at Cages – that is until one fatal error changes the course of their lives.Rumours go flying as their friendship gets tested in this high stakes, tongue-in-cheek mess that spirals into chaos while two young lads decipher what it means to do the right thing at the wrong time.Tijan Sarr (Uzzy) is a graduate of the Guildford School of Acting.
