Tea for Two by David Gibbons

What begins as an ordinary coffee break between Maria and former partner Jake, soon unfolds into something far more surreal.

The conversation loops and small cracks appear — an unanswered phone call, moments of déjà vu, and Maria’s sudden flashes of panic — it becomes clear that there are limits to what Maria can control.

Tea for Two is a bittersweet two-hander that blends dark comedy and romance. It explores how humour can both protect and betray us, how love lingers in the every day and how letting go sometimes starts with picking up the phone.

Urgent Mandatory Training by Jasmine Ballard and Mike Bryans

Good morning, team!

You may have heard about an unfortunate public incident involving our CEO.

As we’re a solutions-forward environment: you are cordially invited to a very important must-attend Values Realignment Experience with your HR department!

What’s a Values Realignment Experience you ask?

You’ll learn about why whistleblowing is actually quite selfish, how to communicate your issues inwardly, and how to fix your mental health in 60 seconds!

This immersive corporate training covers:

Whistleblowing (usually just misunderstandings)
Depression (a mindset issue)
Workplace relationships (the three of us: you, them, and us)
Conflict resolution (don’t)

Whatever comes out – be it laughter, tears, emotional baggage, we’ll all remain loyal to The Company!
