Play Previews - Sussex Express - Friday 11 May 2018

May 24-29 will see a double bill of plays, written and directed by Gillian Plowman. The plays have a common theme – the consequences of a random act of kindness – and touch on issues that affect us today, sensitively played by brilliant young actors in "Touching Tomorrow" and by experienced older actors in "Beata Beatrix". In both these plays, a random act of kindness changes lives. “In Touching Tomorrow”, Dorcas looks after her happy-go-lucky brother Vincent. She brings home traumatised Gemma, who has been living on the streets and invites her to stay. Dorcas’s reporter friend Kate sees an interesting story developing and begins to delve into Gemma’s past. But Gemma has a devastating effect on Vincent and his friend Sholto.
