GAMBLE

Based on Hannah Walker’s personal experiences of being in a relationship with a compulsive gambler, Gamble is a bittersweet multimedia theatre production that peers behind the glittery curtain of jackpots and big wins to explore the complexities of addiction and the effects it has on themselves and their loved ones.

Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story

Do you know the story of Diana? Probably. But do you know our story of Diana? We very much doubt it. Join Diana in heaven as she shares the untold and untrue tale of her extraordinary life. Combining drag, multimedia, audience interaction, puppetry and a lot of queer joy - this unique celebration of the peoples princess is as hilarious as it is tasteless.

Prison Games

When prison is your world, how do you function within society? This gripping and, at times, chilling one-man physical theatre performance is the story of how prison can define a man. Developed using real life accounts of extraordinary experiences, this mainly biographical story deals with the effects of institutionalisation on the psyche of an individual and the people around them. Told through a series of characters (brought to life by the physical dynamism of Marcus Hercules), you are taken on a young boy's journey from primary school through to adulthood. 'Sharp, funny, skilful and moving' (Observer).
