Lava by James Fritz. An amateur production by arrangement with 'Nick Hern Books', produced by Bare Bones Theatre Company, directed by Javi Bone. At The Etcetera Theatre from Tue 14th - Sat 18th July. 

A small asteroid has hit the capital city. Thousands have been displaced. And in a town far away, a young man called Vin is finding it hard to talk. The only person who seems to notice is Rach, who resolves to find out what's troubling him and help him find his voice again.
But when Rach's family take in an articulate and charismatic survivor of the asteroid incident, Vin's silence is no longer her first priority. How does it feel when the suffering of others seems more legitimate than our own?

Lava by James Fritz

London, 1918.

When wartime hysteria pillories Oscar Wilde's Salomé for corrupting the nation with homosexuality, Robert Ross - the late author's literary executor, devoted friend, and "first boy" (or so he believes) - is once again made to defend the legacy he sacrificed his life to protect. As courtroom circus shatters the memories he has spent decades curating, the line between devotion and delusion begins to blur.

This is a story about saints who are canonised by love and fools who sacrificed themselves for it.

1918: The Final Salomé

"The Fools That Are Left" is a 45-minute one-act play which reimagines the true story of the night that the inspiration for 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley was first conceived. In the stormy summer of 1816, Lord Byron left England for Geneva, Switzerland. Soon after, he invited famed poet Percy Shelley, his lover Mary and her step-sister Claire Clairmont to holiday with him and his personal physician, John Polidori. One night while shut inside by a raging storm, Byron proposes that the party each write a ghost story to pass the time. Two years later, 'Frankenstein' was published. This play imagines what the conversations had on that pivotal night might have sounded like...

The Fools That Are Left

@eve_xiao_actor is a girl's girl. Worse, she's an intersectional Chinese girl's Chinese girl. I could barf.
But Wai Ying and Wai Man see through her facade. They know exactly who she is. Just another competitive Asian trying to one-up everyone else, in accents, in personality, in femininity, in masculinity, in depth of thought, in spirituality, in self-respect. That's why she's an actor, the attention wh*re.
But it's okay. Wai Ying and Wai Man will keep her in check.

In an exciting new production, we are proud to present 'Hello/Goodbye', a contemporary two-act romantic comedy by Peter Souter, which explores the nuanced dynamics of modern romantic relationships. This versions of the play aims to challenge conventions and bring forward untold narratives in the exploration of love, neurodivergence, and socio-economic differences in love.

Hello/Goodbye delves into the transition from strangers to partners and back again, capturing the beautiful, sometimes painful, yet undeniably human moments that make up modern love.

"Hello/Goodbye is more than just a love story," state Jacob Hemming and Laura Caetani (who will be interpreting the roles of Alex and Juliet), "It's about the intersection of chance and choice, the momentary connections that shape our lives. This is a play that speaks to the complexities of the human condition, and we are thrilled to bring it to life on stage."

Hello/Goodbye by Peter Souter

Directed by and starring Olivier Award-winning performer Nathan Dowling, Unleashed is the debut play from Siobhán Healey, an exciting new voice in British theatre.

Through fascinating client encounters, provocative revelations and playful audience interaction, a Dominatrix unpacks shame in today's chaotic, judgmental world - exploring the cost of defying society's expectations. At its core, it's a show about identity - who we are, who we're expected to be, and the cost of living authentically.

The show really captivated audiences at our Arts Council-funded preview:

'Brilliant writing, funny, powerful, educational and immersive'

'The central message was clear and poignant, and vitally important.'
