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.

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.

In an alternate universe, I don't want to live in the UK

2 Queers in Tears?

This is not your regular love story.

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.

The Trials 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.

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.

It’s been raining for days.
Once again the world has flooded but this time there is no Noah’s Arch. Nathan and his neighbour’s cat Clarice, who Nathan hates with passion, are seeking shelter in an abandoned barn.

And then Anna arrives.

They have never met before, or at least that is what they think at first. But they have met before. Anna is his classmate’s big sister who he hasn’t seen since he was eight. As the night unfolds they share stories, talk about their dreams and fears, their past and their uncertain future...

And then there is Clarice.

This is a bittersweet and slightly comical story about the end of the world, belonging, and a cat. It is about the stories we tell about ourselves, the stories we need to share with others, and the stories that shape us. After all a story is all that is left of us once we are gone.

Unless, of course, we are the last humans on earth.
