There’s a leak! (Ben Hales)

Cast size: 7-20+. Duration: 45-60mins.

Poundtown (Ben Hales)
The world’s richest man returns to the country’s smallest town, promising wealth and prosperity for all. For a price that ABSOLUTELY NO REASONABLE PERSON would EVER CONSIDER PAYING for a SECOND. Would they?

Cast size: 10-30+. Duration: 60-80mins plus interval.

Suffrajitsu (Ben Hales from an idea by Lucy Cuthberston)
The true story of the Bodyguard, the Suffrajette women who saw that the fight for votes would sometimes involve actual fighting.

Cast size: 8 plus multiple extras. Duration: 20-30mins

MeAndYoutopia (Ben Hales & Lucy Cuthbertson with devising from the original company)
A mysterious island with a mystical doorway. Two very different groups of travellers seeking the same destination. A collision is inevitable. But that’s just the start of the story.

Created with a cast of Year 5 students (9-10 years old). Recommended for younger performers, with parts adaptable for a range of abilities and confidence. Cast size: 12+. Duration: 20-30mins
