In an alternate universe, I don’t want to live in the UK
Catherine, who is from Hong Kong originally and now residing in the UK, is currently suffering from homesickness. Looking back in time, she wonders if she has made all the right choices in the pursuit of human rights and freedom. She invites the audience to revisit the choices and take a glimpse at her alternate universes together.
She believes if she learns about them, she could stop regretting and stop being miserable about settling in the UK.

Six Characters in search of Pirandello
We present the world premiere of an important new play exploring the extraordinary ideas of Luigi Pirandello. Unlike anything you have seen before, alive with unusual stories, fascinating characters, and unexpected twists and turns, this very original play will give you a lot to talk about.
Luigi Pirandello (1867 – 1936) was an Italian writer who won the Nobel prize in 1934. His most famous play “Six Characters in Search of an Author” is still performed today. This passionate and enigmatic man spent much of his life looking for answers to the puzzling contradictions of existence. He saw human beings as lost in a maze and social life as a drama in which we all hide behind masks. One of the great thinkers of the twentieth century, his ideas had a wide impact and inspired Beckett, Pinter and Sartre.
At times at times a hilarious satire on social customs, at times a poignant exploration of the human condition, this is a play not to be missed.

Plastic & Chicken Bones
A tiny margin of error causes a future time traveller to end up in the present day and, as they await recovery, we learn about what brought them here – as well as the events that led our species to a future without war, death, suffering or free will.
Set against the backdrop of escalating nuclear war, the rise of Artificial Intelligence, global warming, and the next phase of the human race, this gripping and thought-provoking solo piece is Brave New World meets Black Mirror and sparks a conversation that needs to be had.
