Precarious Theatre
Failure Studies
When we founded Precarious Theatre in
December 2019 we couldn't know what was
ahead. Our first show – Failure Studies –
was accepted at a few Fringe festivals, then
cancelled, then postponed, then cancelled
again, then postponed again. The play, a
dystopian tale about humanity’s precarious
condition, became reality. Our projects, the
theatre industry, the world, all came to a
grinding halt.
Soon, however, this will change. There’s
something heroic in what the organising team
of the Greater Manchester Fringe have done – it is the commitment to bring meaningful work
to the people, the determination to go on despite everything else.
Or, perhaps, because of everything else. When circumstances are unfavourable, that’s when we
get together and sharpen our senses to imagine a different world. There is a reward for all the
time we waited for, and we can’t be more excited to see what's there.
