Rock Bottom

Rock Bottom

By Fresh Life Theatre

Shakespeare’s best loved clown, Bottom, is reimagined in Fresh Life Theatre’s new one-man show.

Bottom has spent his life pushing the people closest to him away, so it makes sense for him to perform a socially-distanced show. Combining the masterful wit and language of the Bard with fast-paced, sensitive new-writing, Charlie Day has created a production which has something for everyone. Bottom has been left to put a play on all by himself. Watch as he battles his demons, all in an effort to…make you like him.

Mental health is a very prominent issue in the world today, especially with everything people are going through. The show looks to open a discussion about mental health, especially men’s mental health, and hopefully make some men less reluctant to speak up.

So please, give Bottom the attention he needs!

Appetite Everywhere

Appetite Everywhere

by Hot Lemon

For women, says the philosopher Susan Bordo, hunger is themost insistent raving and pre-eminent source of their anger and frustration. The anger and frustration I experienced in my life was persistent and clever. It was a literal hunger for food, for sex, for pleasure, power and respect. Now I want to eat the world. Will you join me at the table?

A new writing feminist comedy piece.
