DOUBLE BILL - Last Seen Bensham Road + Redcoat

Last Seen Bensham Road
Written by Samantha Neale
Directed by Holly Gallagher

Struggling to get her two children to school, Tanya has to navigate the morning rush and run shopping errands on an unfeasibly tight budget.  It feels like everything Tanya tries fails.  She longs to disappear from the wall of judging eyes and spiralling anxiety.  But Tanya didn't bargain for a literal disappearance.

Redcoat
Written by Lewis Jobson
Directed by Melanie Rashbrooke
Produced by The Six Twenty

Meet Lewis.  He's a Redcoat.  Living the dream and living it large in Bognor Regis.  He loves to make you smile and show you a good time.  But what happens when you're having an 'off day'? And you tell Barney the Dinosaur to p*ss off (in front of a load of kids)?
