WANTED
How far are you willing to go to be.... WANTED?
It was never meant to get to this point.
Honestly, it was only ever meant to be one phone. To replace the one Erica had had nicked... and then? Then she met Jessie. After quickly forming an inseparable bond over their mutual loves (Tony Soprano and Lindsay Lohan), Erica and Jessie are on a mission to avenge a world that's only ever left them wanting. But just because Tony Soprano gets to do what he likes... can Erica and Jessie really rationalise their actions?
From the creator behind the hit show In PurSUEt, comes... Wanted.

I AM – A Walking Universe
From the creator of Most Memorable Show (Lustrum Award Winner, 2023). Part of the modular series I AM. Enter the studio of LULA.XYZ, where words come to life. As she attempts to pen the next chapter to her namesake character, the girl next door who just happens to be Eritrean/Ethiopian, life intervenes. It’s the black woman curse. A poetic reflection of overt medical racism happening now in the UK, using wearable technology MiMu gloves (as used by Imogen Heap). Neither a musical, nor drama: a new kind of storytelling.
I AM – One of many, many of One
Winner of the Most Memorable Show, Lustrum Award 2023. Part of the modular series I AM. A first-generation immigrant straddles her Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) heritage and British identity only to realise, when you leave everything behind for the promise of something better, it’s not "better". A poetic reflection on memory loss, displacement, tradition and survival, interwoven with language, customs, music and wearable tech MiMu gloves (as used by Imogen Heap). Neither a musical, nor drama: a new kind of storytelling. Outstanding Performance nominee Filipa Bragança Award, 2023.
I Dream in Colour
'You're fighting for equal rights or some such shit, and that's the problem: I'm still fighting for the right to exist'.

Can she start valuing herself this time? A semi-autobiographical one-woman show from Jasmine Thien; a fully blind writer, poet and comedian. Directed by Max Percy (Baklâ). Produced by The Project People.
