Hidden from each other’s sight, the men reveal secrets, fears, and longings through nothing but their voices. Each call pulls them further into an intimate world where imagination becomes a lifeline, where the line between fantasy and genuine connection begins to blur, raising the question of who they really are to one another.

'Are we gay Scrooge?' Meet Adam and Steve. A perfect gay couple. They love each other, love their new house and love voting for Reform UK. While painting and decorating their just-bought paradise, they notice something's off. Loud noises, screams and oat milk cartons popping up. Moving through parrot paintings, Farage-themed Ouija Boards and protest slogans they realise they’re not alone. Something has been woken up and is ready to spread its woke agenda. Our Ghost Drinks Matcha is a dark comedy that handles the themes of performative politics, codependency and comfortability within marginalized communities. This play is inspired by the earlier this year released polls that Reform UK is the most-supported party by gay and bisexual men. Within the play we are given a look within two of those gay men and what drives them to their political decisions. Facing their woke ghost they will have to face the ghosts of their past, forced to question their own beliefs and each other's motivations. Are they staying on their path or changing course?

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”- Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower The Love We Think We Deserve is a bold, thought-provoking show about people living with Borderline Personality Disorder, how they experience the world and the struggles they face. Around 1 in a 100 people live with BPD, yet it is one of the most stigmatized mental health conditions. Online searches will reinforce harmful stereotypes and the majority of articles advise you how to “spot borderlines” – and avoid them. Rosie Cappuccino writes in her book, ‘Talking About BPD’: “A couple of clicks reveal widespread derogatory attitudes towards the condition […] YouTube videos […] warn that people with BPD are […] impossible to connect with and incapable of love. […] for many people the risks of being deemed untrustworthy, incapable or even dangerous can be too high. […] Many people […] feel safer disclosing anything but BPD.” With this play, I aim to give an insight into what living with BPD feels like and contribute to breaking down the stigma, bit by bit. “I am not the other. I am one of you. Speak about me as if I were in the room- because I am.” Strictly ages 15 and above- contains heavy themes. Discussion of stigmatization of mental health conditions and discrimination against people diagnosed with personality disorders. Non-explicit discussions of suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviours. Brief, non-explicit discussion of causes of aforementioned mental health conditions (eg. abuse and neglect). Non-graphic depiction and discussion of sexual assault. Instagram: @annabontovics_actor and @wallflower_theatrecompany Facebook: Bontovics-Mészáros Anna

Brand-new, Heartwarming Neurodivergent Musical Isabella Pettite and Nikki Laurence present Space Cadet Space Cadet, a new original musical by Isabella Pettite and Nikki Laurence which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Combining original music, humour and heartfelt storytelling, the show offers an authentic and uplifting exploration of neurodivergent life from the perspective of a neurodivergent performer. It’s impossible to say exactly what to expect from Space Cadet! Literally, the show comprises of two, let’s say quirky, neurodivergent individuals on stage, with their instruments, for an hour telling a story and singing songs… This musical will mean something different to every single audience member – some will find it eye-opening, some will find it validating, some fascinating and some absolutely baffling; but it’s guaranteed that the audience be entertained as they go on a journey into a neurodivergent mind, and that the world will be seen in an entirely different way once this show has been experienced! Space Cadet invites you into a world like no other - a world where people, emotions and music are all bursting with colour, where ordinary situations become extraordinary adventures and time is a concept you can’t seem to grasp. When asked about the show, creator Isabella Pettite said ‘I’ve always seen the world differently but couldn’t find the words to explain why. I never actually intended to write a show, I didn’t think I could! What started out as writing one song to try to communicate how I experience emotions turned into ten songs. Suddenly, I was writing about all the outrageous things people have said to me about my neurodivergence, as well as situations I’ve found myself in that seem straight from a comedy skit and before I knew it, I had a musical!’. This show is proudly challenging outdated stereotypes, and redefining what it means to be neurodivergent in theatre. Space Cadet offers a fresh perspective on neurodivergent experiences and sparks conversations about inclusion, identity and the many ways people experience the world around them. Co-creator Nikki Laurence said, ‘Over the course of the last year we've made this piece which is an amazing journey through the most incredible mind and the most amazing world of Izzy.’ Whether audience members identify as neurodivergent themselves, or simply enjoy new and original storytelling, Space Cadet offers an opportunity to connect with a perspective that is rarely seen on stage. As a neurodivergent performer, Isabella’s mission is to give neurodiversity an authentic platform while opening doors for the show’s future development. The aim for the show at Edinburgh Festival Fringe is to be a catalyst for change and create further professional opportunities for both the creatives involved and the show itself.

When the storm comes, where is the way out? Inspired by documented cases of domestic violence, Women in the Storm is a feminist solo performance exploring the hidden barriers that can make escaping an abusive relationship so difficult. Through a fictional woman's story shaped by real cases and testimonies, the performance traces her journey from love to control, from violence to resistance, and from seeking help to fighting for a way out. As she tries to leave, she finds herself caught between family expectations, social pressure, financial dependence, barriers to divorce, the struggle to prove abuse, and a legal system she desperately needs to protect her. Blending monologue, physical theatre and documentary material, Women in the Storm asks us to look beyond the question, “when the storm comes, where is the way out?” and instead confront what can stand in the way when someone tries to leave safely. Because escaping violence should not mean gambling with your life. The performance draws on documented cases and social realities. Its characters and central narrative are fictionalised for the stage. Content Warning: This performance contains depictions of domestic violence, emotional and physical abuse, and medical trauma, including references to injury, threats, and systemic injustice. Viewer discretion is advised. A solo performance by Arina Yang.
