> 14th MAY, 7pm Winsome's Daughter by Faith Miller
Winsome's daughter lives in a hostel. She's angry and alienated from society; she ends conversations with a bone crunching head-butt. When Esther-a shrewd social worker- turns up, everything changes. Esther's philosophy is, "all humans want to thrive". Winsome's daughter recognises this and tries to change. But can she take a leap of faith?

> 28th JUNE, 7pm The Only Way by Olu Alakija
Amba and Ben are the new Black middle class. After Ben loses his job he happily takes a back seat; that is until they take on a lodger. Jae quietly and corrosively reminds Ben of Amba's place. His insidious intrusion exposes the fragility of the relationship, and leads to a climax that will change both of their lives forever.

> 20th JULY, 7pm Brixton Rock by Kolton Lee an adaptation of Alex Wheatle's novel
It's 1980. Against a backdrop of racial tension that will eventually lead to the 1981 Brixton Riots, we meet a bunch of wily teenagers. Dabbling in drugs, partying, petty crime and misdemeanours, we follow them as they try to find love, self expression and freedom. Brixton Rock gives us a fascinating snapshot of Black London in the early eighties.
