A Place Like This

Eye 4 an Eye

Victorian England, 1880; the Pleasance family enjoy another year at the Summer House. Yet it is different from the rest. Losing someone, boy or man, will put you to the test. So when the whispers between the worlds come at night, can the darkness be turned to light?

Red Herring

Wryd Fish

In a bleak, authoritarian world, a towering lighthouse looms over a small community, its unblinking eye tracking every move. Within the town’s last pub, whispers of monstrous beings beyond the border fuel fear—an age-old tale twisted to maintain control. But as secrets unravel, some begin to question: who are the real monsters?

The Coven

Katalysis Theatre

The Last Move

OVUM

In a world where power is a game and every move is survival. The King rules, bishops whisper, knights defy, and rooks protect. Pawns dream of rising, but the king- protected yet powerless- remains the prize. The board is set- a gripping drama of strategy, sacrifice, and ambition, where the class system dictates the rules, but only the bold rewrite them. Let the game begin.

Follow the Lasers

FLYTIP

It’s 2003. 9 friends navigating the ups and downs of young adulthood get the opportunity of a lifetime when they’re invited to an exclusive rave. With nothing to stop their deepest desires running wild, will they come out stronger? Or will they end the night confronted with their true selves?
