How to Create a Life: Work In Progress
Created by Francesca D'Souza
No womb at the inn? How to Create a Life is a newborn verbatim show with a big heart, asking the big questions.

Pain Aux Raisin
Created by Matilda Bailes & Megan Brice
Grief makes people weird. After stealing their mother’s ashes, two sisters search for the perfect place to say goodbye on their own terms.

Grateful 4 U
Created by Emily Steck
When long-term loves Max and Georgia open their relationship in an effort to save it, they are confronted by their intimacy (or lack thereof) and what it means to them.

The Minotaur and Dora Maar
Created by Esther Fernández Guerra
Dora Maar’s affair with the famous Picasso has left her lost, deeply unwell and unable to create. “The muse, the model or the artist? Which am I?”

Pain Aux Raisin: Contains grief, death, moderate/mild swearing.
Grateful 4 U: Contains sexual references.
