The Last Our
Performed by the Group A Cast
One step forward, two steps back. A wild goose chase. A rigged system. But with the darkness encroaching, they have to move.
rannsaka
Performed by the Group B Cast
A show about Nomads. About being in search of something. Reconnection. Rewilding of the soul, of place and time. About land, encounters. Who it belongs too, and who will inherit it?
BLOW!
Performed by the Group C Cast
The Legend of Bubbleman.
Fault Lines
Performed by the Group D Cast
Singer songwriters, Marie and Aisling, are on the cusp of motherhood, and they hope, fame and fortune. But will they be able to work together to navigate this new shaky ground when all is not as it seems? What will they do when the earthquake hits?
The Doorway Effect
Performed by the Group E Cast
At a travelling circus, people are trying to find their lost memories.
Rule Zero
Performed by the Group F Cast
Their basement. The Odds. His puppet.
When estranged friends are called to their childhood home, they return to a past they’d left behind. The dust is unsettled, the rules have changed and demons they’d buried are coming to light.
Brandie Peterson - In My Own Words
Performed by the Group G Cast
This is a one-woman show meant to be funny and light-hearted. It is themed to shed light on what I've experienced as an American living in London and also speak to aspects of my experience of being a black woman. It's meant to be an experience where the audience finds what these characters have to say as funny, relatable, and insightful.
plewds
Performed by the Group H Cast
Noun. 1. The stylized sweat drops drawn onto a character's head, as if it were coming out of the character, as used in cartoons.
A genre-and-gender-bending exploration of our ability to ignore what's right in front of us.
Content warnings for these pieces are to be confirmed.
