No Name. No memory. No Identity. Where to begin? 49 and 64 are in the room. They cannot see each other but they can talk and pass notes. All they have is questions, wedding veils and dog tags. Who are they? Where are they? What is going on? And why? And who is J Doe? And why are they watching them? 64 has been there as long as they can remember. So has 49 - but they have seemingly been there far longer than 64. Over the course of their time together the two do everything they can to recall, rebuild and reshape their lives. All the while, J Doe appears to them as everything they can think of and far, far more. 113 focuses in on the ideas of identity and memory. It asks if memory is what makes our identity, and if we were able to see ourselves objectively, could we change?

G R I E F C A S E is a new performance by artist Ru Lawrence, constructed and directed by Tailwind Physical Theatre. This bold piece combines dark humour, physicality, and visceral movement to explore the complexities of loss, memory, and healing. Tailwind Physical Theatre, internationally known for creating work that promotes social change and platforms marginalised voices, brings their unique vision to this production. Drawing from personal experiences and universal themes, G R I E F C A S E navigates the often-taboo subject of grief, intertwining humour and emotional depth in a way that is both challenging and liberating. The piece explores grief not as a linear process, but as a messy, unpredictable, and deeply embodied experience. Through movement-heavy choreography, the show moves beyond words, tapping into the power of physical expression to communicate what cant always be said aloud. Ru Lawrences work has been described as a surreal and elemental blur, seamlessly merging emotion, movement, and abstraction into an unforgettable experience. Challenging conventional notions of mourning, G R I E F C A S E offers an experience that is as uncomfortable as it is cathartic, allowing audiences to witness grief in all its formsugly, funny, messy, and ultimately, human.

Presented by Codex Theatre, a company dedicated to unpicking big ideas through clear, compelling storytelling, 'Pop Goes the Dollar'; is not just about 2008: its about now. When systems falter and pressure rises, what (and who) will we choose to protect?

Why arent they laughing? It wont work if they dont laugh... Philip Frost and Robert Glass, once a moderately successful comedy double act, return to perform their made-for-TV special in front of a live studio audience. With one hour until they are kicked out of the studio, once-adequately-famed duo 'Frosted Glass' attempt to film the special, which will save their careers. As seen on Frost and Glass Tuesday Afternoon Off (2009-2009), and SE4 EP6 of 4 In a Bed (they walked into frame during some of the b-roll), the iconic duo are back! Expect songs, dances, and Frosted Glass famous catchphrase, THAT IS MUSTARD! in some inappropriate circumstances. Building on the momentum from Glass viral exit after a torrid yet carnal affair on Im A Celebrity: St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Frost's residency on It Takes Two (as boom mic operator), this is the pair's last-ditch leap at fame. However, they soon find out the world of comedy today is a very different beast from the TV sketch shows of years gone by. Be quick but not flippant; relatable but not unoriginal.

Coming Home tells the story of Jack and Suzie. They are a couple in their early 30s who have decided to watch England play in a major tournament together. Jack is clearly a big football fan whereas Suzie is trying to show her partner she is getting into the spirit of it all. At first, all is exciting and hilarious as Jack is frantically pacing the room and singing the national anthem, however as the game begins to unfold and his drinking becomes a compulsion to handle his emotions, the couples deep routed issues of intimacy, their future and Jacks paranoia, take their toll on Suzie and she is left isolated, frightened and furious at the man she is in a relationship with.The play follows a timeless paradox universe from 1998 with England playing Argentina, to England vs Italy in 2021. Jack and Suzie are trapped in a pattern of the same scenarios and outcomes from football and his behaviour. The couple can also be a representation of the many relationships that have been impacted by their partners behaviour whilst watching football. Suzie is a woman having to deal with the man child that is Jack and therefore represents the many women who have found themselves throughout the years being the crutch or tragically the punching bag for their emotionally repressed, bar watching football partner.
