As Pete prepares to propose to his girlfriend Julia he expects today to be the happiest day of his life, however not everything is as it seems. Exploring the power of love, friendship and lust.
The Proposal was originally commisioned by Paines Plough as a response to Mike Bartlett’s recent success Love, Love, Love. In September 2011 the final version of The Proposal opened at the Lowry Theatre, Salford Quays, selling out and receiving an excellent response from the audience.
Fiddy West Productions (NSDF Emerging Artists 2009, Best Ensemble, Best Producer, Charlie Hartil Award 2010, Regina Charkham Award) have had previous success with The Meeting and Territory which is now a feature film set for release in 2012.

“Its a long time since I came out of the theatre with the tingling sensation of having watched something so real.Nothing short of outstanding. ★★★★★ Fringe Review 2010 on Territory
“Skilful writing, conflicting sympathies and deeply human characters. Johnson steals the show with his delicately nuanced, quietly devastating performance. ★★★★★ Three Weeks 2010 on The Meeting
“There are issues here about the media, race and crime and punishment but Johnson’s writing avoids easy explanations and neat conclusions ★★★★ The Scotsman 2010 on The Meeting
