The Soul Miner is a one man show that uses mime, song, comedy and physical theatre to tell its story of the disturbing effects of war and the trauma of memories.

Set in the 1920's the play explores the relationships and humour that exists between men in traumatic situations. Jim is a miner trapped in a collapsed mineshaft with another young injured miner. To keep him alive until their rescue Jim talks and gradually reveals more about his time in WW1 at Gallipoli.

Two middle-aged women talk in a room. One is recently returned. One has always been there. Between them sits their past. The Dream Life of Butterflies is a beautiful dissertation on the illusion of memory and the impossibility of retrieving what has been lost. In a seamless single scene, award-winning writer of Ranters Theatre, Raimondo Cortese exposes their delusions about themselves and each other, hinting at the terrible taboo at the heart of their relationship.
