POP

Abbi and Beth want to be Kate and Naomi, walking the fashion week in Paris or partying with britpop stars in London. Instead, they’re stuck in a small northern town, incarcerated to pre-fab science labs and cold wet playgrounds. ​Teenage friendship is tested and the bonds of loyalty severed in an audacious theatrical presentation, mixing music and fashion in an intercultural, funny and tender new play.

Set in the mid 1990s and late 2000s, taking in London and New York, POP’s narrative moves at breakneck speed to a soundtrack of britpop and the backdrop of Blair’s Cool Britannia, from past to present and the contemporary aesthetic of The Face, Vice and ID Magazine.

Narcissist in the Mirror

Winner of 'Best New Play' at the 2018 Manchester Theatre Awards and 'Best Spoken Word Show' at The 2017 Greater Manchester Fringe Festival.  A dark comedy about life, ambition and millennial expectation. Narcissist is a love addict, a starving artist and a lost soul searching for self-worth. Laced with acerbic wit, punchy dialogue and intricate spoken word, Narcissist in the Mirror is an honest account of self-exploration, as rip-roaring as it is poignant.
