Crocodile Itch

Written by Yuner Chen

Directed by Billy Watson

This crocodile is about to itch its scales off. Call the safari vet!

Getting a doctor’s appointment in this modern day & age is almost impossible but don’t fear, safari vet is here. A new VR game allowing the player to enter the tropical grasslands of Kenya and visit the safari vet himself who’ll analyse your health but cause no physical harm. No need to be on hold for hours, just turn on, plug in and let safari vet work his magic. What could go wrong?

The Fat Man, The Fridge Magnet and Me 

Written and performed by Oscar Chanther

Blurring the lines between performance and confession, this one-man show explores both devil and angel,

and the parts of ourselves we would rather not acknowledge.

We present a short scratch version of this new work.

 We bear the sweetest fruit.

Vagitus is a devised, ensemble piece drawing on the themes of reproductive rights and the medical knowledge gap - our long tradition of struggling alone to understand and claim ownership of our bodies.
