On 23rd October we will be performing new material at the Lowry from our upcoming play, The Well (link for £5 tickets in our bio)

This will be part of the Lowry’s upcoming Climate hope Scratch Night

Stranded in the heart of the desert, Buck and Duke are desperately searching for a hidden well to quench their thirst. But in this interactive Western, the audience holds the power: every heads or tails decision shapes their next move. As the story unfolds, deeper existential questions emerge and the consequences of each choice may be far greater than anyone expects.
