On a rainy afternoon, at a fly tip in the woods,
an eclectic group of teenagers are catapulted

innocence, it becomes clear that 'growing up' is
not as great as they thought.

One woman. One unspeakable crime. It's 1987 and Shirley
Jones is on trial for murder. Based on a true story, 'Jordan',
by Anna Reynolds, is a powerful and profoundly moving
play that asks difficult questions about what we can forgive
in the name of motherly love.
A comic rerendering of Chekhov's Classic The Bear, which
hasn't been performed in Manchester in a very, very long
time, we think. Acting, comedy, wrestling and maybe a
horse...

Failure Studies
Three absurd, comical and tragic characters explore the
theme of failure in the office of an academic journal on...

us to success and happiness. We want to test how truthful
this is: if we keep trying, do we fail better, or do we fail
'worse'?
A story of a young woman growing up, shaped entirely by
the voices around her. Told by an unseen presence, able
to only whisper but not change anything, this audio drama
explores how and why people end up living lives they
