The artistic journey

★★★★★ — three Black inmates share a cell at Winson Green Prison in a bold, fresh take on race, crime, family and culture in the UK. "Shadows is smart as hell" (London City Nights).

Verbatim theatre drawn from the Grenfell Inquiry — of profound importance to the bereaved, survivors and residents who endured the fire.

★★★★ (Breaking the Fourth Wall) · ★★★★ (Reviews Gate). A rejected playwright accepts a robotic society's offer of a humanoid companion — and builds a robot double of the woman who turned him down.

Set in Small Heath, Birmingham's growing Eritrean community — a story of immigration, love, loyalty and what it means to be human in an increasingly dehumanised world.

A family too preoccupied to listen. A bottle of white spirit left within reach of Joe, who is blind. A drama about self-harm, separation, and the messages we fail to hear.

Leon has deadlines to meet and a mountain of paperwork to get through — determined to live up to his parents' expectations. The pressure is on.
