As such, it's important to ensure that the audience is mature enough to engage with and understand these themes responsibly.

The show is approximately 95 minutes, including a 15 minute interval.

We primarily tour East Anglia, bringing our performances to theatres, community spaces, and outdoor venues across the region. We aim to make theatre accessible to a wide variety of audiences.
Do you have any plans to expand beyond East Anglia?
While we are currently focused on East Anglia, we are always exploring opportunities for growth and expansion. We hope to bring our innovative productions to wider audiences in the future, possibly touring to other regions.
