OOB: Unboxed Series
Script readings performed by us, written by you!
The 'Unboxed' series was started back in mid 2020 amidst the first lockdown due to COVID-19. We wanted to give ourselves the opportunity to create work and get it out to an audience whilst everyone had to start at home. This quickly evolved into opening up for submissions from emerging playwrights in which we facilitated online script-readings of their new projects.
We had the chance to work with amazing playwrights such as Joe Archer with 'Crocodile Minutes', Max McMillan with 'I'M The One', SMJ with 'SWAY', and Tasmin Jahan with 'Brouhaha in Chaoserratumbozo' - All of their details and links can be found below along with recordings of these readings.
A huge thank you also goes out to the performers who stepped up along the way: Harri Marshall, Charlotte, Kirsty, Nikki, Victor, etc.
Season 2!
Due to how well received the first season went, we are working hard behind the scenes to bring you Season 2 of the Unboxed Series, which will open up for submissions sometime in summer 2021. So look out for news and updates on our website and on our social media!

Brave Heroes & Hidden Demons
A devised dark comedy that explores depression, suicide and how those suffering cope, through the lense of a Dungeons & Dragons session.
Dungeons and Dragons role-play is used as a safe environment to experience confronting intense emotions whilst indulging in the escapist world of fantasy. It will allow us to tell an emotional story about grief and mental illness against an exciting, fantastical backdrop, continuing our practise of exploring serious subjects in a safe, light hearted way.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, an important collective lesson for us has been human connection and the value of digital communication. Being in lockdown has exaggerated symptoms of depression, therefore, now is the time to discuss it.
As suicide “rates among the under 25s have generally increased in recent years”, we want to use Brave Heroes and Hidden Demons as a platform to inspire conversations about Mental Health in our audience, to foster the human connection which we now know is so important. Future engagement activity with this project will offer this platform and resources for those who require additional support.
