    ARCHIVE
    A Tale of Love and Betrayal. A dark, humorous three-hander exploring the complexities of relationships, masculinity and learning from our mistakes.

    “It hurt... lying to you. It hurt”

    In the game of love there are no winners.

    When Mikey is dumped by Elise, he turns to his best friend Sonny for support. But when Sonny goes round to Elise's apartment to drop off her stuff, a connection is made. How will Sonny manage these new feelings? How will Mikey move past the break up? And how will Elise cope being between her ex and his best friend?

    TAKO (Octopus in Japanese) is a humorous, new-writing piece exploring the intricate dynamics of masculinity, friendship, and relationships, while raising the question: Do we have to learn lessons first hand in order to grow?

    Sonny - Christian Bevan

    “It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
