Counterminers CIC is proud to present four brand new brilliant pieces of writing selected from 140 submissions. Diving into the topics of medicine, family heritage, masculinity, friendships, video games, and aliens. Join us for a celebration of some of London’s most exciting early-career playwrights!

Woman Then World by Rhian Holmes
"Before the world, there was woman. Someone had to bring all the people into being. You know. If you’re looking for something to worship. Or something to blame..." What begins as a standard GP appointment for Martha quickly goes awry as she discovers she has been invaded by an extraterrestrial lifeform. A spacey satirical comedy about the Wild West of reproductive healthcare and how easily female bodies become foreign.

ALPHA by Lydia Gilbert
Lucia Sheridan, a disgraced journalist from controversial media outlet United News, prepares to take on Mason Paige in his first live interview since he was put under house arrest for his “alleged” crimes against women. The play navigates the rehearsal period in real time, and the reveal of an unexpected history between Lucia and Mason sets in motion a series of attempts between them to win this cat and mouse game of morality.

AFK by Dominic Conneely Hughes
After Jacob goes to university and leaves his best friend Will at home, the two of them communicate exclusively through their favourite video game. But as the two friends grow up, Will’s increasingly online existence threatens to leave a rift in their relationship and outlooks on life.

Giants by Stephanie Abadom Stevens
Grace, a thirty something year old Nigerian has devoted her whole life to being perfect: the perfect daughter, the perfect sex object and the perfect guardian of the family name. When her parents accomplish the ultimate goal for many first generation immigrants, Grace is thrilled, but when that goal upends Grace's stability, she is forced to go out into the world alone.
