'Are you coming to the Bazaar?!'-an original piece written by latecomers a new and exciting theatre company in Bottisham.
'Paint'-by bob newman.
'Take it or Leave it.' After a mixed audience reaction across the region the play comes home to cambridge.

The benifit of original pieces is that at every rehearsal the show changes, scenes are added and taken away, lines are edited and the play grows to suit the cast and stays fresh for everyone involved.
