Big Bang is CPT’s regular scratch night: an explosion of performance from which new universes of theatre may one day emerge. These jam-packed platforms are highlights of any CPT season: the place to see wild and wonderful new projects take their first steps.
Each bill features three or four artists or companies performing 15-20 minutes of fresh-from-the-rehearsal-room work-in-development. They’re doing so because they want to know what works and what doesn’t, and they’d love you to tell them. So please join us for – and share your thoughts on – these exclusive previews of tomorrow’s most exciting theatre, today…
Batshit Crazy by SHE BITES Theatre
A semi-autobiographical play highlighting the complexities of Lillian's life as an OCD sufferer. Chiming in when mental health is on everyone's lips - see what Lillian has got to say. This is the story of Lillian’s experience of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, her frustrating companion. Journey with her into a landscape of secrets, rituals and f***** up thoughts.
Batshit Crazy is a coming-of-age play about being a young woman in a neuro-typical world. Bringing to the table a stunning performance that shows the spectrum of what it feels like to be inside the head of an OCD sufferer. Unapologetic and fiercely honest, this show will make you reconsider everything you’ve been told about OCD.
Batshit Crazy is the first creation from SHE BITES theatre, a spanking new company that strives to centre female and non-white voices.
Devised, performed, and co-directed by Lillian Waddington and Claudia Zita
Best Friends With Rachel by HOT TRASH
Rachel just moved to London and is on the lookout for a new bestie to be her pal, confidant, and comedy partner. She’s written a two-hander all about friendship, loneliness, and eating too much pasta, and now she just needs somebody to perform it with. Joined by a complete stranger, Rachel and her potential BFF will share secrets, wine, and slightly unhinged jokes while creating and performing a new play in front of a live audience. See what happens when two unlikely buddies team up to make art and make friends.
"A great local theatre making a massive difference to the local community."
Councillor Jonathan Simpson Camden Council
