Our latest production, Really Want to Hurt Me, was seen by an audience of over 2000 on its Arts Council-supported UK tour from 2017-19, with sold-out shows at Soho Theatre, Sheffield Crucible, Theatre503, The Old Red Lion, The Marlborough in Brighton and Assembly Hall in the Edinburgh Fringe. We also ran free writing workshops for the local community at tour venues.

Jarman Garden, a movement-based devised production with immersive film and sound, celebrated the life, work and Dungeness beach garden of legendary queer artist and activist Derek Jarman. It was a finalist for the Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award and had a successful run at Riverside Studios, commemorating the 10th anniversary of Jarman’s untimely death. An exhibition and full retrospective of Jarman’s films were programmed alongside the show, with accompanying talks by some of his friends and collaborators.

The company’s other work includes a queer feminist reinterpretation of Brecht’s Baal, with women playing the central misogynistic male lovers, and a modernised version of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s ‘70s lesbian classic The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. Our devised piece She Wore Herself explored the mirrorings and tensions between a cis straight woman’s and gay man’s experiences of their ‘femininity’, soundtracked by a banging remix of Madonna’s “What It Feels Like for a Girl”.
