FISH!
FISH! is a new theatre work for young audiences aged 4-8 and their families. It takes place at a local swimming pool, where 6 year old Gus has come to try out swimming lessons for the very first time. Gus doesn’t really like trying new things. He prefers his old routine. But his Mum has told him how important it is to be confident in the water so, reluctantly, he has agreed to give lessons a try.
There he meets Pim, who is easily one of the best swimmers who comes to the swim school. Across a series of Saturday mornings, Gus tries to find the courage to get into the pool for the very first time, and during that time he starts to notice there is something fishy about Pim.

AWAKE
From searching for the right words for a eulogy, to the hazards of crying unexpectedly in the supermarket, AWAKE is a new theatre work that explores the public rituals of farewell alongside the more private face of grieving.
We invite you to share in an evening of music, storytelling, sandwiches… and perhaps a whiskey or two. AWAKE is both a gathering and a joyful reflection on the ways we say goodbye, facing the expected and the unexpected in grief, and what we’d say if we could do it all again.
Premiering in 2026 | Seeking additional presenting partners
CARNIVORE
This is a story you may think you’ve heard before. Perhaps never like this.
A girl comes to live with her Grandmother after the death of her mother. She has so much to learn. There is so much danger in the world, so many things she has been taught to fear. And now she is an apprentice butcher, getting an education she never imagined she would have. Soon, she begins to realise there is far more than meets the eye in this family business. Her inheritance is one of power, and violence, and whether she is ready or not, her education has well and truly begun.
