Ordinary Dreams

Deepening recession, uninspiring job, antisocial neighbours and rubbish on the streets. When Miles' wife Penny gives birth, he hopes his life will fall into place. Instead he dreams of running the country and changing the world - in stark contrast to his best friend Dan, who seeks solace in carefree girlfriend Layla and her alternative therapies. This dark comedy follows four thirty-somethings in their search for happiness. Ordinary Dreams or: How to Survive a Meltdown with Flair, premiered at the Trafalgar Studios, London, in May 2009.
