APRIL 2018 AT THE BACKPACK
Self Portraits is an exercise in controlled chaos and self-expression. And honesty. So much honesty. An uncomfortable amount of honesty. Because when you paint a self portrait of yourself that's what you have to be - honest with yourself and what you see.
There were thirty pieces of theatre performed each night in random order. Some of them funny. Some very dramatic. In some no words are spoken at all. It is a fast-paced controlled disaster where you will get to learn about us, as people. Oh, and at some point you'll get to throw socks.

SEPTEMBER 2018 AT THE BARN
Black Dog is a site-specific and immersive theatrical piece revolving around the relationship between two women - Ophelia and Rainey - who capture, torture, kill and consume men who have been accused of sex crimes. The play deals with themes of violence, cannibalism, and memory and is not for the faint of heart (or stomach).

Based on the classic Greek myth of a similar title, The Reciprocity of Persephone aims to give the Queen of the Underworld a little more agency in this modern, feminist re-telling. This devised piece of theatre told the story of the young Goddess Persephone living with her fiercely loving and overprotective mother Demeter, Goddess of agriculture and harvest. When Hades, God of the Underworld casts a gaze on Persephone there is nothing left to do except…strike up a conversation with her and invite her home. Eventually Persephone is left with a choice to make; stay with her Mother and the only home she has ever known or go off with a person that could give her a Realm unlike anything else.
