M.T.G.
(Mind The Gap –stand clear of the doors please)
By Lucy Lai-Tuen Chau
If there are only six degrees of separation, how are these seemingly unconnected individuals travelling on tube connected?
We all have natural biases. We all make instant judgments. Do I talk to this person; is s/he someone I feel comfortable sitting next to?
This is a tube journey that changes four people’s lives as they reflect on one day in their past, which unbeknownst to them, they all share. Feel how this shared but kept “secret” moment has touched their lives. How for one amongst them the memories are too much to bear. This is one tube journey that they will never forgot.

“WAITING” is a short. “Chinese” Jean is fifty something and finds herself abandoned by her family and placed into a care home. Jean waits for her daughter-in-law to come back, to take her home. But will Shelly ever keep the promise that she made to Jean? And why does Enid the new nurse have so many questions? WAITING is an enigmatic and moving two-hander that challenges our perceptions of race and old age.
