ANTHЯØ

by Core Theatre Company

Loss. Hunger. Rage. Lust. What lies at the extremities of our primal selves? Can we co-exist in a community that is untethered and unrestrained? ANTHЯØ explores what lies within all of us, and how our communities can be made or broken by our authentic selves.  

Play Not Found

by Pay2Play

What’s it like to give something your absolute all?  

Or to give it next to nothing, but still not give up because giving up isn’t really an option?  

And why would a modern theatre company bother staging Hamlet again?…  

Are you waiting for an answer? Because we haven’t got one. That’s why we’re asking you.

Square Peg, Round Hole

by Beruffled Productions

A man explores the messy, ineffective and increasingly desperate ways he has tried to get love throughout his life. As his failure to find peace becomes increasingly impossible to ignore, he is forced to turn both inwards and to the world of birds to find solace. 

It's Easy to be Dead

by Whole Nine Yards Theatre

We promise to remember them, but what happens to the young men who are left forgotten? In 1917, wounds of the past remain fresh, and war-torn lives need help being pieced back together. Memory and the present are one and the same; as the mouthless dead speak no more.
