Dragon's Breath
There lived a girl in a tower,
That all the knights wished to deflower.
But Edmund would strive,
To get out alive,
And escape her dragon’s fire power.
Written by Amanda Doig
Directed by Bryan MacLeod
Featuring Richard Pepper & Keri Pidgen-Welyki
Inhume
Inhume (verb): to bury.
Sometimes it’s the words not said, thoughts unspoken, memories repressed, or a body laid to rest. Sometimes it’s better to leave things alone. And sometimes you must face the things that make life uncomfortable.
Written by Jennifer King
Directed by Andrea Jacobsen
Featuring Robyn Dias, Gursimar Singh, Barbara Saxberg & Mickey Nagy
