Hot on the trail of their recent show, Reboot Theatre returns to the Bunker Theatre with Reboot: Shorts 2, a new series of short plays by emerging writers, that explore the secrets, fragility and cruelty of love and human relationships.

Cheating

Cradle
By Sascha Moore
“It wasn’t my fault. Couldn’t make it stop.”
A car journey. A party. A love story gone wrong.

Kiss Kiss
By Lily Shahmoon
Hayley and Chris have an inappropriate office romance at the most inappropriate time. KISS KISS is a series of text conversations between them, exploring what it’s like to love with an expiration date.
The Answer
By Tom Glover
It’s 1973, Clive is thrilled about his latest piece of technology – an ansaphone – Jenny is not so sure. As they begin to experiment with their new toy, they discover that far from just answering their phone, it starts to change their mindset.
Vermin
By Laura Harper
Lucinda is trying to work her way up the social ladder and save herself from her parent’s fate. Ash on the other hand, has rejected his highborn status in favour of joining the Resistance. The two find themselves in the middle of a fox hunt for two very different reasons; or so they think.
