The short plays A Dame Remembers, The Heist and Little Angels range from comedy to drama, all with different themes running through them.

The Heist, written by Shirley Toohey and directed by Michelle Sharp, is set in a Bronx apartment where four ladies have their bridge game interrupted in the most unexpected way. Little Angels is a drama by Yvette Wall and directed by Siobhán O'Gara, set in a hostel for unmarried girls in 1966. Summer Shorts plays at 8pm February 18, 19 and 20 with a 2pm matinee February 20.
