About the pieces
The Hour of the Star
"The greatness of every human being."
What very well may be the first stage adaptation in English of Clarice Lispector's surreal and touching novela: the story follows the misadventures of an unfortunate young Macabéa as her encounters with several surprising characters are documented by a mercurial narrator. An exploration of both style, and the inherent glory of simply being. We are thrilled to bring Lispector's captivating work to the stage.

Between the Sheets
‘Porn is different. It’s an ideal, it’s hypothetical, it’s a fantasy. In the real world, I love you, I choose you.’
Jasmine and Noel have been on their first date. Leah and Tom are getting married. How far will porn occlude their intimacy and their love?
Bakerloo Line Northbound, Oxford Circus, 8:16am
Bakerloo Line Northbound, Oxford Circus, 8:16am. It’s hot. It’s sweaty. It’s summer. It’s rush hour. We’ve all got somewhere to be. We’ve all got shit to deal with. Some more than others.
Spitting Image
Three women—strangers—find themselves sharing the same cramped nightclub bathroom on a chaotic Saturday night. Between mascara touch-ups, drunken tears, and the hum of bass vibrating through the walls, they strike up conversation. What begins as small talk quickly unravels into something deeper, darker, and unexpectedly familiar.
Spitting Image is a sharp, intimate portrait of womanhood, beauty, and the emotional debris left behind by absent fathers.
Collidoscope
A collection of two stories: one explores the mind of a black queer man affected by the harms of dating apps; the other follows two men on a journey to find a better life who end up stranded on an island.
