What happens when terra firma isn’t firm at all…?

It’s five o’clock on a normal weekday evening. Claire and her teenage daughter Alice are making tea. Alice pops out to fetch some apples from the shed. But in the blink of an eye she’s disappeared down a hole that’s suddenly yawned open on the lawn… What happens when life swallows you whole and terror is only a heartbeat away?

Theatre Alibi combine powerful performance, projection, puppetry and a thrilling live soundscape to tell a raw and intimate story.

Brutally moving Edinburgh hit coming to Exeter

Fast paced adaptation of Josh Kilmer-Purcell's best-selling autobiography I Am Not Myself These Days

Written and performed by Tom Stuart, directed by Nick Bagnall, produced by Fuel

‘Heartbreaking and brilliant’ EdFringe Review

At the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe the extraordinarily compelling tour-de-force performance of Tom Stuart, in his own adaptation of the best-selling memoir, became one of the talking points of the Festival. Audiences were visibly moved by the story of alcoholic drag queen Aqua desperately trying...

From Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s bestselling autobiography of the same name, I Am Not Myself These Days is a shockingly direct and heartbreakingly funny new play about love and self-discovery in the flashy, trashy New York of the 1990s. Ad man by day and drag queen by night, Josh battles his own alcoholism while desperately trying to make his relationship work with Jack, a high-class rent boy addicted to crack.

By turns brutal, funny and heartfelt I Am Not Myself These Days is a one-man tour de force of mesmerising candour.

Tickets: £10 (£8)

Using intricate vocal techniques and rich harmony, Mmm Hmmm holds a magnifying glass up to snapshots of everyday life.

This is a show about death. It’s not a show about being sad. Or about grief. Or pity. This is a show about the actuality of dying and how an acceptance of mortality can drive a passion for life.

Learning How To Die asks what scares us about dying, and how can we use that fear to drive our living actions. Can we stop being scared of talking about dying? Can we find new ways to talk about death now, not just when we are faced with it, or have to deal with someone else’s? It won’t make it any less painful but it might just make things easier.
