Wheezebag
A story of struggle, curiosity and resilience, Wheezebag is visual theatre piece in development, sharing the performer’s (and others) lived experience of severe and chronic asthma.
​
The piece explores breath as a life-force, drawing symbol threads from the Greek myth, Pandora’s Box, and alludes to the gender health gap and the influence of female hormones as evidenced triggers for women with asthma.
​
Presented through a highly visual non-verbal lens, this is a bonkers costume drama with a difference! Work in progress sharing is programmed for Snapshots at MANIPULATE Festival 2026.

Verity
*****
“An avant garde gem that offers a searing commentary on the objectification of women...... what is presented is almost cinematic levels of precision and thematic cohesion.”

Verity is stuck! With only a TV for company is she in control….out of control…..or being controlled? What’s the story looming in the shadows?
Verity is a one-woman visual theatre show about the objectification of women and the invasive influence of mainstream media.
Originally inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Princess and The Pea, the show combines physical theatre, storytelling and projected shadow, alongside a creative soundscape.
Verity premiered at Brighton Fringe 25 receiving a 5 star review and shortlisted for Brighton Fringe Best New Show Award 2025.
