Rid the world

The Myth of Escape
'Everything is permitted, but nothing goes unpunished.'
Billy finds himself in a cell next to Alex. Neither are quite sure what they have done wrong. Perhaps nothing. It doesn’t seem to matter. Someone wanted them imprisoned and so they have been. An absurdist political drama about isolation, oppression, and fighting to hold on to everything you believe in. View the trailer

Rid the worldThe Airborne Adventures of Elisabeth and Jeanne
'For a woman in 1799 the only way was up. In 2011 other directions are available.'
31st Dec 1799. The last day of the 18th century and the brink of a new era. Elisabeth and Jeanne, balloonists-extraordinaire, are about to perform their most daring feat. At midnight precisely one of the women will jump from a balloon floating high above the world and return to earth in a brand new century. Ahead of her: female emancipation, gender equality, and sexual liberation. But first, one of them must jump. Close her eyes. And jump...

A play about the challenges of being a woman in this world of men.
