The Plays:

Our House is on Fire by Alex Ansdell

Abby wants to change the world. Belle wants to dance. Toby wants to figure out his place in the world. Jack wants to get high. Set over the course of one night in a house party bathroom, four sixth-formers struggle with lunch-hall politics, real politics, and insecurity about their futures - what if your activism gets in the way of your life?

There Will Be Polar Bears by Allie Costa

In the face of climate change, two scientists imagine the impossible. Wildlife biologist Nicola is determined to save the polar bears, and her trustworthy lab partner and longtime best friend Bjorn is determined to help. But what compromises, if any, are they willing to make to protect and preserve their favorite creatures?

Untitled Climate Play by Grace Wallis

In 2043, Grace finds herself glueing her hands to Talgarth Road in a climate protest. She's given up the theatre for over a decade now, having switched fields to environmental law and now full-time climate activism. But, stuck on one of London's major motorways, she has a moment to revisit her fond memories of drama school and reflect on whether she could have ever achieved what she has without first being an artist.

Blood On Your Hands by Grace Joy Howarth

Blood on Your Hands is a new play that looks at the forgotten victims of the meat industry: the slaughterhouse workers. Following the friendship formed by Welsh working class lad Dan and Ukrainian refugee Kazimir, the show explores the effects of the violent industry on these men’s lives.
