Square Go
Max is a normal-ish kid in a normal-ish town. He spends his days daydreaming and hanging out with his weird wee pal Stevie Nimmo.
But when Max is called for his first Square Go, a fight by the school gates, it’s his own demons he must wrestle with first. A raucous and hilarious new play about playground violence, myths of masculinity and the decision to step up or run.
Featuring an original soundtrack by members of Frightened Rabbit. This is an unmissable collaboration between Fringe First-winning writers Kieran Hurley (Heads Up) and Gary McNair (A Gambler’s Guide to Dying).

Still No Idea
Best mates Lisa and Rachael made a show together 10 years ago. They had no idea where to start so they asked the public for some storylines. They made a show about it. It was called No Idea.
But that was a few years ago and the world has changed, right? Lisa’s on TV and her disabled actor mates are getting work and people are way more open-minded now. Job done. So what kind of exciting stories will Lisa and Rachael be given this time?
Sill No Idea is a mischievous look at where we were then and where we are now. Part verbatim theatre, part confessional, part comedy sketch show with a bit of singing and dancing – the adventures of two friends in search of a story.

Enter the Dragons
Expect fantastical characters, ridiculous puppetry, extreme wigs, physical comedy and delightfully dark humour. Sixty minutes of laugh-out-loud joy, dissent and touching humility for anyone who is considering ageing.
Enter the Dragons is an hilarious, surreal odyssey through the challenges of growing older, which explodes myths about beauty, sex and femininity.
An archetypal Hero is reframed as a mature woman in the modern world. Gripped with
fear at her advancing years, she sets off on an epic quest to defeat Chronos, the god of time, and halt the inevitable - ageing. Will she succeed?
