Infernal: A Brontë Story is a fictional drama that tells the story of the 'forgotten' brother, Branwell Brontë.

A poignant look at a life and a talent wasted – the infernal world of Branwell Brontë.

potato/tomato is a heart-warming, sharply funny romantic dramedy that brings together five unforgettable characters for one life-changing night. Welcome to a wedding reception where emotions run high, timing runs late, and nothing goes quite to plan. Enter Josh, a neurotic over-thinker who still isn’t over his thoughtful and ambitious ex; Naomi, the woman who once knew him better than he knew himself. Now she’s here with Gary, her impeccably mannered, hopelessly earnest new partner who tries so hard to be perfect it’s almost endearing. Josh’s only hope? Mike, his best friend and the world’s most enthusiastic emotional support disaster. Mike’s heart is huge, his loyalty unwavering, and his grasp of common idioms questionable at best. But tonight, he might just surprise everyone, including himself, when he crosses paths with Lotti, the big-dreaming, big-hearted wedding singer whose warmth and wit turn the evening into something unexpectedly magical. With quick-fire dialogue, deeply relatable emotion, and a cast of lovable, flawed characters, potato/tomato delivers big laughs and bigger feels. Full of charm, chemistry, and sparkling banter – perfect for audiences who crave humour with genuine heart.
SETTING: The action takes place at a wedding reception, sometimes in the 2010’s.
REVIEWS: 4 stars - "A hugely entertaining, and surprisingly hard-hitting
