Unity Scratch Night: July
Friday 17th July
7:30pm
The acclaimed series of work in progress nights at Unity continues into 2026 by popular demand with monthly instalments of never before seen work.
Over the last few years Unity has established itself as the go to venue for fresh, and innovative new work with a sell out series of work in progress evenings and unmissable variety nights.
A serious police drama.
A self-proclaimed “Extraordinary Man”, Rodya Raskolnikov, has brutally dispatched his landlady. Yet, crime isn’t so easy. Chaos erupts when the landlady’s unsuspecting lover crashes the scene, relentless twin detectives close in, and a volatile thief throws everything into disarray. Rodya must desperately fight through hell or high water to slip away alive.
A radical reimagining of Dostoevsky’s masterpiece, Crime & Funishment is a comedic bullet-train that hurtles through what drives a man to crime—and whether we can laugh in the wreckage along the way.
Devised by THE BUNKO BOYS.
THE DAY THE FUNK DIED
Performed by Campbell Wallace, Created by COSMICVOIDPRODUCTIONS.
In a world consumed by noise, algorithms, and endless distraction, one man drifts through the silence searching for something that may already be gone.
The Day the Funk Died is a haunting contemporary monologue, exploring loneliness, memory, and the quiet collapse of human connection in the digital age. Through moments of dark humour, vulnerability, and surreal reflection, the piece asks an unsettling question: What happens when we’ve become so connected that we’ve forgotten how to connect?
Blending poetic storytelling with raw realism, The Day the Funk Died is an unsettling meditation on the direction our world is heading. It invites audiences to pause, reflect, and confront the uncomfortable possibility that the greatest loss of our generation may not be our jobs, our privacy, or even our independence—but our capacity to bond.
