LONG STORY SHORT

Thursday 5th March - Saturday 7th March 2026

Long Story Short  

Written & Directed by Veronica Montalbetti

​Four short comedies about love, life, murder… and houseplants. From dating disasters to domestic dramas and a good old-fashioned whodunit, Long Story Short serves up four fast-paced plays.

  • Two Sides: A couple replay their break up from both perspectives, because everyone has their own version.

  • Hello Plant: A woman finds unlikely relationship advice from her house plant.

  • I Wrote a Play: A mum unveils her "masterpiece", with an unexpected twist.

  • 15 Minutes to Solve a Murder: A period face where everyone is desperate to solve Tubby's death. 

Four Plays. Sixty minutes. Plenty of laughs.
