Top of PageHero Worship
Synopsis:
Anachronism is a super hero. Sure, to the untrained eye it seems as like he's just a normal mild-mannered super market worker who likes to take his puppy for walks in the park but in actual fact he IS a super hero. What's his power, you ask? Well, he's still trying to figure that out. Using a combination of theatre, storytelling and fast paced energetic poetry this one man show takes us on an often hilarious, often poignant journey through the worlds of our own inner monologues and explores whether we all have some kind of secret identity.

Top of PageNo Time Has Passed in Hippo Land
Synopsis:
Jane, Robbie and Kate don't miss each other. It's been years since they've really spoken. As siblings go they can't be described as close. But now their terminally ill father has a request for them, one that might strain the already fragile bonds of their family to the point of breaking. The topic of euthanasia and mercy killings is one that exercises the minds of many. No Time Has Passed in Hippo Land tells the story of the difficult choices that families are faced with and how if affects those who will be left behind.

Top of PageWe Never Land
Synopsis:
Wendy is on the run from the authorities, hiding in her grandmother's attic, frantically recording a message to her loved ones telling her side of the story before she is arrested for stealing a priceless work of art. The more of Wendy's story we hear (her friendship with artist Cat, and relationship with her struggling grandmother), the harder it is to tell if she's flying or falling. An often hilarious, touching story of friendship, love, mental health and stealing priceless art.
