Dominoes
by Crofton Park Players
Is a play about a family torn apart by grief…..
Dominic lies dead on a trolley in Lewisham Hospital.
He ‘bled out his life' in a newsagent in Streatham.
His family go through the motions of everyday life without purpose until …they find the old man's game that Dominic and his father used to play. Together they learn the game, rebuild their lives and take the 2012 Olympics by storm.
Dominoes is a tragedy in reverse!
Crofton Players are a community theatre company that produces new drama that is relevant to inner-city audiences.The rationale is to create new plays that will tell the stories of ordinary people in the inner-city through the exploration of diverse cultures, traditions and personal experiences.
Crofton Players grew out of the need for young Lewisham actors to find an outlet for their talents; to be given the opportunity to perform the work they were producing in schools and colleges to real audiences about vital issues and themes surrounding their lives in a hard-hitting - sometimes brutal reality, and bring it to life on the stage.

Life for Charlie should be pretty good; a new date on the horizon and he's finally escaped his over-bearing family. However, he has one problem, he's broke. With no money to pay the rent, he must think of a new scam quick. His flatmate Rupert Debussy, a bitchy alcoholic failed actor offers little help. The surprise arrival of his prudish bossy big sister threatens to throw all his plans into chaos. Perhaps a naive student could be the answer to their problems! Why is Rupert being so neurotic? Can Charlie get rid of his sister? And is his mysterious femme-fatale date all that she seems?

Julius Caesar
by William Shakespeare
Immersion Theatre Company
directed by James Tobias
Set in an ageless, dystopian bohemia, we are confronted with the remains of a once strong and powerful Rome. A city which has decayed into a society of corruption and lawlessness, now governed in name by the powerful Matriarch known as Caesar, but in reality by violence, ambition and brutality.
Immersion Theatre Company graphically bring to life this gritty, gothic underworld, verging on the brink of in-yer-face theatre.
Immersion Theatre will fast become a force to be reckoned with within the industry. Remotegoat.
