Ghost
Tag
by Sean Burn
Rhiannon
is from Rochdale. A single mum who decorates her home town
with her tag. A world-famous graffiti artist who has never
seen the world. An artist with no identity. A life saver.
A loner. And someone who needs to fill the silence.
Set on a train between Rochdale and Manchester, Rhiannon fills
the silence with her stories, as she discovers its time to
move on.

It's
A Girl
by John Burrows
Five
heavily pregnant women meet regularly to talk about their
bodies, their lives and their men.
Thrown together because of sex, this ill-matched group of
women become impassioned and united as their men lose interest:
the right to have their babies at home and the imminent construction
of a local nuclear waste site.
This slick comedy explores how your body reacts, how what
you knew to be certain changes and how much pain you can endure
before you need drugs when there’s life inside crying
to get out.
