    What do you do when your neurodivergent brain isn’t playing ball? It would rather replay negative tweets and past traumas. Jen has decided the only way forward is to ask Harold Pinter for help – her play won’t write itself. The only problem is Pinter doesn’t play ball either, he much prefers cricket. Can Jen make this collaboration work and find some ND joy in the process? And while we’re at it, is Pinter a feminist and what on earth is gender anyway?

    A new unmasked play from the brain of Miriam Higgins featuring Harold Pinter (sort of).

    "Funny and wise, touching and intelligent, Miriam Higgins’ playful play is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended."
    Harry Burton (Actor, Director)
    "Somehow [Higgins] managed to catch Tom Stoppard while sleeping and reached in to the darker side of his imagination"
    Henley Review for MERCUTIO AND TYBALT (2017)
    "This cleverly written and ambitious play will have you pondering about the nature of reality and the dividing line between it and fantasy"
    Buxton Fringe for DREAMSCAPE (2018)

    “Keep up the good work producing cutting-edge theatre for everyone in London”

    Councillor Jonathan Simpson, 29 January 2018
