Event line up:
The Afterparty
Fri 5 Jun, 3pm
Mara, Simon and Lena met at university and they have lived together ever since. But tensions have been bubbling beneath the surface. As they set up for a party these tensions erupt. Old wounds are opened, the unspoken is spoken and new truths are revealed. How long can a friendship last? Can their history keep their friendship together? Or is this the end for them?
The Historical Traitors
Fri 5 Jun, 4pm
The Historical Traitors by RTC is a high stakes, psychologically strenuous competition among the world’s most memorable historic figures. The players are trying to work out who they can trust so they can beat the game. However, when these characters are all put in a room together, something unexpected happens. Expect twists, expect turns and, most importantly, expect comedy.
Diaspora

The Prison
Wed 10 Jun, 4pm
The Prison is a surrealist rap-infused musical about a prisoner going through the prison’s rehabilitation system in the UK, and just how ineffective it is.

Joy Boy
Thu 11 Jun, 2pm
In a dystopian future numbed by artificial happiness, two prisoners are forced into an experiment where survival means compliance.

Live Goes On
Fri 12 Jun, 3pm
In a world where people live forever, a man responsible for a mass culling is brought onto a live talk show to discuss his ethical standpoint. In this overpopulated world, what morals remain, and is there any hope for humanity to one day thrive?
WHEN THE AXE FALLS
Fri 12 Jun, 4pm
Deep in a Forest Cathedral stands the Witness Tree. An ancient upside-down tree, connecting the above and below realms. The tree is alive with spirits of water and air, of the moon and half-light. Voices that guide or deceive. As alliances shift, the tree continues to witness.
