We are presenting two new plays by two exciting British playwrights at the Tristan Bates Theatre in March 2012.

A Lady of Substance by Jon Cooper
Jasmin has just run away from home and Cassandra's downward spiral is fast becoming a whirlpool. Hip Hop fanatic meets performance poet - in their battles a bond is forged that might just save them both. An intense lyrical journey into our cultures excesses and a unique relationship between women of different generations. A powerful new work from Jon Cooper

The Death of Norman Tortilla by Charlotte Coates
Celebrity, sex, men, fashion, death - all come under the piercing gaze of Norman Tortilla, an old man who’s never been kissed. He wants the world to listen. But with only a bath-obsessed Polish care worker and a feisty young saleswoman for company, will he get his dying wish? The world premiere of Charlotte Coates debut play heralds the emergence of an inspired new voice in British playwrighting.
“a little gem of a play… an astonishing debut, remarkably well-crafted and detailed, both hilarious and disturbing” FringeReview

Pairing the works of an established and emerging playwright, Sheer Drop Theatre presents two vital new plays that plumb the dark humorous depths of life in modern Britain.

Performance Dates
Tuesday 20th March – Saturday 14th April (not Mondays)
The Death of Norman Tortilla on Tuesdays and Wednesdays @ 7.30pm
A Lady of Substance on Thursday to Saturdays @ 7.30pm, Sundays @ 4pm

Special Offer extended until Valentines Day
