The Line up
THE BOOK OF AUDREY

Step into The Book of Audrey — a celestial “This Is Your Life” with a twist. Aunty Audrey, the nation’s favourite agony aunt, finds herself at the gates of Mormon Heaven, where even the angels take notes. As she’s gently grilled on her life’s choices — from scandal and heartbreak to questionable shoe purchases — Audrey must justify it all with wit, warmth, and the conviction that kindness, humour, and a strong cup of tea can redeem almost anything.

Both funny and heartfelt, The Book of Audrey is a celebration of resilience, reinvention, and the beautiful mess that makes us human.

Vicki Duncan |  “Preference or Conquest”

Preference or conquest is written by Vicki Duncan, who is a gay woman originally from Edinburgh; who seems to be magnetically drawn to heterosexual women and them to her. 
This short piece is set in the bright lights of Manchester’s bustling Canal Street where you can be free to be yourself.
It explores sexuality and whether a once straight woman can completely change because she ultimately falls for the person. Is sexuality fluid? Or is it a case of ‘bi now, gay later’.


Princes of Puberty


Perpetually pubescent and perpetually online, Princes of Puberty dives headfirst into the chaotic, awkward and painfully funny world of teenage boyhood. A riotous mix of character comedy, clowning, drag and gamer culture, this show explores the weird rituals of growing up ‘boy’ – where friendships form in chat lobbies, emotions are buried under banter, and puberty never really ends.

From renowned drag-king-clown Rachel Barry (Barry, Brian and Bean) and acclaimed clown Cordelia Stevenson (Silent Faces).

Reclining Female Nude
By Anna Ní Dhúill, performed by Anna Ní Dhúill and Annie Wire
In a life-drawing class seemingly like any other, The Model is asked to do the longest pose of their life. As they enter a deep state of zen in order to get through the pose, their sense of reality begins to crack right open, devolving into a performance about gender and expectations.

They’re Just Roommates – Abbie Caskie

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a carabiner, must be in want of a wife.

They’re Just Roommates is a two person play set in the flat of Benny and Dee, two unlikely roommates who have been living together for a couple of months. Period drama obsessed, girly-pop, Dee is a complete contrast to her pint drinking, indie music listening roommate Benny. Who somehow find themselves caught up in a romance, very similar to Dee’s favourite book, Pride and Prejudice.
