Across the divide of a scorched basketball court two girls meet, shoot hoops and discover their shared obsessions make them inseparable friends. But will faith, growing pains and the darker reactions of others get in the way of that long, hot, orange summer?
From multi-award winning writer/performer, Dan Ireland-Reeves, comes a semi-autobiographical look behind the curtain of one of the worlds most secretive and seductive industries.
Using movement, video and voice recordings; you'll be taken on a reflective and ultimately life-affirming journey through one man's personal struggles in this raw and honest portrayal of modern life.
Winner of Best Solo Show at FUSE International 2022.
When Raina arrives at her spoken word gig to see her exes in the audience, all the questions she's had about her past sexual experiences begin to surface. Through poetry, comedy, and one very awkward encounter with a cheese string, she begins to explore questions about bad sex, drunk sex, and the grey areas of consent.
Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking, MANIC is a solo show that combines spoken word, puppetry, and theatre to ask whether it is possible to say you were violated without implicating a partner.
'A challenging and multifaceted show with a figure of raw talent at its heart.' (**** Confessions of a Five Foot Two Actress)
‘Astonishing moments of word play, startling metaphor and poetic story’ (**** Bath Fringe Hub)
