The Waiting Room

A girl called Lemon is looking for her lover, Cactus.
She realises Cactus left her, and is on the other side of the door.
Lemon tries to talk to Cactus, she desperately wants Cactus back. But she doesn’t hear anything from him.
All the people she loved disappeared through that door but she couldn’t open it.
Why did they leave her alone in the waiting room? Why can’t she open the door?
Whose door is it if you can’t open the door? What’s there behind the door?

This play explores the attachment-type theory, especially the anxious attachment type.
How was your first relationship? Was it a massive fail? Or quite successful?
What’s the reason we’re not good at it? Where’s it come from?

This is an eccentric surreal play, but very funny, touching and easily understandable.
It contains beautiful physical movement, dream-like words and a weird song about watermelon.
Please join her journey for escaping the waiting room.

The Trails of Magnus Coffinkey

For what can you say to someone when their heart’s been cleft in two?
Nothing…
Nothing…
Nothing…
No words will ever do.

From the writer and production team behind the 2022 Voice Mag BEST NEWCOMER AWARD at Brighton Fringe comes a haunting UK PREMIERE – a broken fairy tale for broken people.

In a whimsical land of dark fantasy, Magnus Coffinkey must repair a broken bell atop an impossibly high tower. Success will make his deepest desire come true – whereas the price of failure is a permanently broken heart and a lifetime of guilt, pain and sorrow.

Using fairy tale as a gentle tool for processing and trying to make sense out of personal trauma and grief, The Trials of Magnus Coffinkey is charming, honest and devastating.

That Witch Helen

The face that launched a thousand ships finally gets to speak.

Meet Helen, before Troy, in this feminist retelling of the Ancient Greek epic. Witness her divine beginnings (yes, she did hatch from an egg!), her youth as a Spartan warrior, her fateful decision to leave her husband, and finally the decade of brutal war and destruction that follows.

That Witch Helen blends myth, movement, and storytelling to give Helen of Troy, one of history’s most hated women, a chance to tell her own story.

“What happens to all the clever little girls?”

Written and performed by Catie Ridewood. Directed by Janette Eddisford.

Karaoke at the S.U

What’s worse than bumping into a terrible one-night stand? Meeting in the abortion clinic is probably up there.

In this sharp dramatic-comedy, Lorna and Benji keep crossing paths as they try to navigate university culture, relationships and what it means to “be an adult”. Equal parts silly and melancholy, they try to answer the age old question: how much of your student loan could you pay off being on OnlyFans?

Not quite a rom-com, not quite a cabaret, ‘Karaoke at the SU’ fuses a story spanning decades with musical numbers and puppetry to create something that speaks to everyone’s inner child.

Be prepared for tears, bad dancing and too much WKD.

2 Queers in Tears?

This is not your regular love story.
Billy: “We should write a play about this”
Elliot: “God no babe, this is not for public viewing… ”

Join Billy & Elliot, two queer, emotionally constipated 30-somethings on their journey to becoming their authentic selves. Expect singing, dancing, therapy, 5-am bed talks and a whole lot of mooo-ing. Laugh and “cry” with them as they discover that platonic love conquers all.

RANK.

RANK A debut play from Goldie Majtas, Gemma and Jane couldn’t be closer, the type of friendship that could survive through anything, I mean anything. This absurd piece of dark comedy will take you on an unexpected journey through the lives of two twenty-somethings trying to sort their sh*t out. All starting at a taxi rank. Think Waiting for Godot meets Fleabag. Be prepared for explicit subject matters and dark themes in this fun, fresh piece of writing. Directed by Julia Mandler and staring Paige Cowell and Goldie Majtas.
