Dependants

Dependants

6 May 2026 - 9 May 2026

Three half-forgotten figures wait beside a locked door they cannot remember arriving through. Their dialogue spirals, loops and contradicts itself as they joke, stall, confess, and laugh too loudly and too often. Their attempts to open the door become rituals, games and distractions, exposing the addictive patterns we all use to avoid facing ourselves. Rooted in contradiction, Dependants lurks in the damp crevice between the comfort of staying and the terror of being unable to leave.
The Crucible by Arthur Miller

The Crucible by Arthur Miller

27 May 2026 - 30 May 2026

There is a murdering witch among us bound to keep herself in the dark. Let your enemies make of it what they will, you cannot blink it more The Crucible is a brutal dramatising of the 1692 Salem witch trials, in which 19 people were hanged. Written during the wave of McCarthyism, it portrays the struggle for integrity amidst a climate of mass hysteria and ruthless judgement. When a group of girls are caught dancing in the woods, they fend off punishment by accusing others of witchcraft. What starts as self-preservation spirals into mass hysteria: as accusations fly, the accused face impossible choices.
