Can I be honest with you? I’m really glad we’re doing this.

But… did you bring the biscuits?

After a year of being stuck, unexpectedly stranded in isolation, isn’t it time to meet someone new? Step inside and meet four eccentric characters who are desperate for company and comradeship – whether that’s sharing a cuppa, a daydream or a waxworm. Written by some of the most exciting up-and-coming talent, each semi-improvised short play will plunge the audience into a funny, surprising and perhaps peculiar experience, where you get to be part of reclaiming control of the story. Together, create playful interactions, celebrating the absurdity of human connection.

Step inside and become part of a new story, a new world, where YOU are part of deciding how it ends. Pop in for one, or stay for all four!
