Shovel by Daze Hingorani

A bath, a cigarette, a packet of crisps – all shared between two siblings on the last day of earth.

Exploring growing up and growing around each other through playfighting and dancing, poetry and everything you always wanted to shout.

So, if the world was about to end, would you finally tell me how you’ve been doing?

Dirty Utopia by Ezra England

A rehearsed reading of Ezra England’s new play exploring the complexities of artificial intelligence.

You by Wisdom Charis

“You” is fed up. Fed up with the side eyes she gets from white women who clutch their children closer when they see her in a North Face in Big Tesco (like she’d want to steal a caucasian child, aka the Lice Spreader 3000™) , fed up with her no-show date who, when asked his favourite position (wink, wink) unironically replied CEO, and fed up with just life in general. As we get a no holds barred look into her thoughts over the course of one night, we see that the carefully crafted “here for a good time not a long time” persona might actually just be a cover up for something else entirely.

Come Pretend Like It’s Calm by Zakariye Abdillahi

Come Pretend like it’s Calm is a one-man stage play fused with poetry that explores experiencing grief for the first time. Step into the world of Ibrahim, a mid-20s struggling Muslim actor as he navigates through grief, the part religion plays in his life, understanding where he comes from and the inevitable guiltiness that comes with trying to make sense of everything while trying to live your own life.
