Undersigned

An invocation, a blindfold and a pointed discussion. This deeply personal, psychological thriller for one offers infinite possibilities and sharp choices. Repeat visitors are forbidden, and nothing said here ever leaves. As such, in place of summary, Management offers you a deal: after your appointment, you can reclaim a portion of your ticket price - or add what the experience was worth to you. Management bets we will exceed your estimation. After three years of sold-out runs and critical acclaim (LA Times, No Proscenium), we make our international debut with limited engagement festival appointments. Opportunity waits; come take it.

I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar

Step inside Holly Redford-Jones' award-winning Lesbian Bar! This bold new show is a dance through tales of unsung, unsanitised lesbian debauchery. A sonic love letter to sapphic institutions of a bygone era, the show celebrates queer women of the past, present and future. Taking a cue from the iconic Jonathan Richman song, Redford-Jones asks the biggest questions: where have all the lesbian bars gone? How do you know when you're in one? And how did Chesterfield's Crooked Spire become so... crooked?
