A comedy drama that explores a family’s current relationship problems that have resulted from a single decision taken forty years earlier. Dee and Millie haven’t spoken since 1969 and no one knows why. That’s how it would have stayed until fate took a hand when Brian and Linda, their respective children, met and married. Now they tolerate each other on social occasions but avoid each other whenever possible. It is the week of their only granddaughter’s wedding, and it is physically impossible to dodge the inevitable confrontations.

Directed by Gwen Browning
Tartuffe is a hilarious romp based on the original Moliere comedy. This modern English version by Tim Mooney, is fast-paced, saucy and very funny. It satirises religious hypocrisy, blind piety and naivety.
When the religious and odious Tartuffe wheedles his way into the wealthy Orgon’s good books, he is taken into his home and given the best of everything. Outwardly pious, but inwardly lustful, Tartuffe, is promised Orgon’s daughter Mariane’s hand in marriage. This does not go down well with the rest of the family, who see through his hypocrisy and his crafty manipulations and join forces to plot against him and expose him for what he is.

“The Greening of Grace” by William Zappa – directed by Tim Riessen
Grace reflects on the journey to being green, and what this means for her. The traumatic event that triggered this metamorphosis is one part. Other events, caused by her family, well-meaning as they are, are also catalysts to bringing on this change. The play explores the power of family, despite the age of its members, and how a new life purpose can emerge, even later in life.
Please be advised that the “The Greening of Grace” contains material that some patrons may find confronting, offensive, or a cause for distress. With this in mind, if you do not wish to see this play, please contact TAZ Tix for a refund.
“150 Years of the Roman Empire in 30 Minutes” – written and directed by Zavier Wileman
Three historians, one history – or so you would think. But when it comes to the Ancient Romans, historical accuracy suffers at the hands of propaganda, gossip and rumour. “150 Years of Roman History in 30 Minutes” is a humorous re-telling of Ancient Roman political history starting with the reign of Caesar in 46BC and ending with Domitian’s reign up until 96AD. Will the historians be able to agree on anything? And most importantly: will they be able to entertain the restless guests of a Roman dinner party with their stories?
