FIVE finalists from this season's Script Factor, run by the York branch of Script Yorkshire, go head to head in the All Winners Final in the York Theatre Royal Studio on Monday night.

Each play has the theme of travel in a nod to Le Grand Départ for the Tour de France in an event to be compered by Paul Burbridge, artistic director of York theatre company Riding Lights.

The plays will be Claire Morley's Going Up, Lisa Valentine'sTime Travel, retired clinical psychologist David Kennard's Rough Guide, Amanda Greenwood's Audrey's Perfect Party and Ruby Clarke's Home. The performances will be followed by post-show voting by the audience, a discussion and the award of the winner's trophy.

Morley's play brings together two strangers, Emma Dubruel's Ellie and James Martin's Otis, one lift and no way of knowing where the doors will open.

Valentine's Time Travel is set in a supermarket car park, not usually the most exciting place to be, but when you encounter a 144-year-old man by the trolley park, you can be fairly sure the day will show more promise than the usual baked beans and white sliced bread at the check-out. The cast comprises Natalie-Claire Brimicombe as Brooke, Matt Pattison as Edward and Sarah Jane Strong as Bex.

In Kennard's Rough Guide, John (Paul Stonehouse) and Cathy (Rosy Rowley) meet through a dating website and decide to get to know each other better by going on holiday. They are both looking for something and, surprisingly, they find it but not in the way they were expecting. Claudia Meszaros's Zoya may have something to do with that.

Audrey (Rosy Rowley again) decides to throw a party to impress the neighbours in Greenwood's piece, but after discovering that posh neighbour Margie (Beryl Nairn) has a new best friend in Mrs Miller from Number 36, Audrey will stop at nothing to go one better. She ends up with more than she bargained for when news arrives that Le Grand Depart is coming town. Enter Andy Love's Ted.

From the tiny to the extreme, the consequences of failing in their mission are slowly dawning on Commander Richmond (Paul Stonehouse's second role of the night) and Doctor Michaels (James Welford) in Clarke's Home. Both have to come to terms with their fate as they say their drawn-out goodbyes in front of a spectacular view.
