    One-man comedy-drama about two twins growing up with cerebral palsy: Bec (a wheelchair user) and Jack (who walks with a limp). Each twin had a very different experience navigating life.

    Join Jack as he steps back in time, reliving squabbles with his old womb-mate Bec. All whilst battling against societal attitudes and his own emotional darkside: in the form of a well-known disabled Sith Lord. In this true tale of twins growing up, their unique bond is tested as they steer through the trials and tribulations of childhood and school – honking at bullies and overthrowing the low expectations foisted upon them. An inspiring* solo show with sketch and spoken word, that celebrates disability and diversity.

    It’s 2023. Amidst a cold snap, the cost-of-living crisis has hit and global energy prices are spiralling.

    Daniel is reading his daughter ‘The Three Little Pigs’, but his life is anything but a fairytale. Little does he know, two “wolves” will soon be banging on his door to pay him an unexpected visit. Can Daniel repel these unwanted visitors and keep his daughter safe, or will his life come tumbling down?

    The Wolves at the Door is a dark comedy that takes aim at corporate greed and questions the kindness of strangers.

    Achingly funny… a clever and hugely entertaining alarm-bell of a play about the way we live now, and the ways in which harsh and unforgiving times begin to change us all.

    After the launch of Sputnik (in 1957) the first satellite into space, the starting pistol in the space race between the USA and the Soviet Union was fired. Little did stray dogs Belka and Strelka know their names would soon be written in the stars.

    The pair’s successful mission of being the first animals to return from orbit alive paved the way for the first human space flight of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, in 1961. But this was not the end of the story…
