PULSE by Eloise Heath
Police tape and a stuffed pink elephant. The roar of a tube train and the click of a dictaphone. This play is a true story: it is also a pack of lies. Staging one woman’s journey from normality to violent offence, PULSE is a confronting piece of True-Crime theatre built around a series of verbatim interviews. Eloise Heath utilises her years of experience in documentary filmmaking in this exploration of violence, radical empathy, and how the monstrous is not always what it seems: PULSE challenges the audience to think the unthinkable.

The Encrypted Forest by Jim Osman
An evening of folktales for the digital age. Inspired by post-internet art, the unsettling depths of weird fiction, the boundless mysteries of cosmic horror, and the timeless wisdom of traditional folktales, we present a tapestry of narratives resonating with the contemporary soul. A blend of evocative storytelling, sound art live radio theatre, cybernetic monologue, and scintillating sci-fi soundscapes, you are invited to traverse this liminal space. The Encrypted Forest is not just a theatre show; it's a journey into the heart of our collective digital unconscious, exploring the shadows and lights of our increasingly interconnected lives.
Content & health warnings: Violent imagery, references to mental health, religious and occult themes. Loud noises.
Last F*ckable Year by Michelle Hudson
Michelle is forty-five, awkward, and on a mission. At the threshold of midlife, when many women start feeling overlooked, she’s out to Get F*cked. Last F*ckable Year is an autobiographically inspired piece about a real-life quest to have the (last) ride of Michelle's perimenopausal life. Diving into sex parties, dalliances with dominance.. And why is it so hard to organise a 2-man threesome? With live/pre-recorded multimedia, online chat, and audience interaction, this vulnerable show asks: Can you ever prepare yourself for becoming invisible?
