Morris’s latest is her first monologue; which she herself also performs – placing us in the company of a woman suffering through a London tube journey.

ET TU by Tilly Lunken

Victorine Pontillon directs Jonathan Cobb and George Turner in Lunken’s masterfully written two-hander – which comes in classic form.

GOING UNDERGROUND by Carol Cooper

Mother and daughter Jessica Turner and Kate Cooper return to Briefs with this piece by Carol Cooper, also set against the backdrop of London’s tube network.

HAIRDRESSING by Ant Cule

Ever asked your hairdresser about their most memorable customer ever? Ant Cule has – and Anca Vaida performs the result.

Extract from JELLY by Suzy Gill

Gill writes and directs the morning after the night before, with inspiration from Little Mix and performances from Evie Killip and Chris Hoskins.

THE OP by Shaun Kitchener

Rob Ellis directs a trio of Briefs debuts as a young woman awaits a major operation. Sally George, Aoife Kilbane and Georgia Taylforth star.

TESCO TRIFLE TRAGEDY by Rob Ellis

This is no ordinary trip to the supermarket. Harry Culverhouse performs Ellis’s lively monologue, with direction from Michelle Shortland.
